Description
The waterbirds are generally good at Čenta Fish Farm, e.g. waders include Lille Præstekrave, Småspove, Krumnæbbet Ryle, Sortklire, Tinksmed, Damklire. Hvidskægget Terne and Dværgskarv are common. Herons include Dværghejre, Purpurhejre, Tophejre, Nathejre, as well as uncommon Kohejre and Sort Ibis ; while marsh songbirds include Pungmejse, Skægmejse, Kærsanger, Drosselrørsanger and Savisanger. The central pasture doubles as the air force training ground, hence the field is dotted by small yet deep explosion craters - mini-reedbeds with Sivsangers and Purpurhejres.
Personally, I usually visit the area for grassland species, e.g. Vagtel, Turteldue, Hedehøg, Hærfugl, Rødrygget Tornskade, Rosenbrystet Tornskade, Sydlig Nattergal, uncommon Blåhals, Husrødstjert, Vestlig Sortstrubet Bynkefugl, Gul Vipstjert, etc.

Access
By the northern end of the Čenta village turn into an inconspicuous dirt road leading to the Veliki Alas fish farm, an abandoned Tamis River oxbow lake north of the village. If there were rains recently, this first section of 300 metres is not passable by car (and sometimes because of the deep ruts left by tractor tyres it may not be passable even when dry).
After this, turn left and follow the mostly good dirt track (yet, with several large potholes). It will take you along the oxbow lake (left hand side is not used for fish production and the entrance is not restricted) and through a pasture with scattered bushes, a lot of dust (I mean a lot!) and no shade. Carry plenty of water on hot days.
