Beschreibung
Deliblato Sands Reserve's west borders is an area of steppe, sandy, and agricultural open landscape habitats, as well as patches of black locust, black pine, Scots pine, and various deciduous forest species. More than 120 bird species have been recorded in this part of the Deliblato Sands. Considering that there are no water surfaces in the area and the lack of waterfowl, this reflects the very high biodiversity of the region. The area shines in spring when migratory birds come, and it is still not too hot. Also, late September and October are very nice and pleasant.
Bienenfresser, Wiedehopf, Blauracke, Pirol, and Turteltaube are common here. Larks include Haubenlerche, Feldlerche, Heidelerche and Kurzzehenlerche. From Buntings there are Grauammer, Ortolan, Kappenammer and Goldammer. Also present are Sperbergrasmücke, Gartengrasmücke, Braunkehlchen, Schwarzkehlchen, Brachpieper, Neuntöter, Schwarzstirnwürger and Raubwürger.
Among other more common birds of prey, the sandy dunes are also patrolled by Schlangenadler, Zwergadler, Wiesenweihe, and Rotfußfalke. Wendehals in April and Ziegenmelker after sunset in June are also some of the many highlights of this area.
The area is part of the Deliblatska Peščara Nature Reserve and IBA Deliblatska Peščara.

Zugang
After about a 50-minute drive from Belgrade, there are 3 main access points to the western borders of the Deliblato Sands Nature Reserve: Devojački Bunar ("Girl's Well"), Dolovo ("Valley Village"), and Mramorak ("Marble Pebble"). To access the entrance from Devojački Bunar, head to Vladimirovac village and follow the way to the northern P mark. To access the entrance from Dolovo, head to the Dolovo village and continue straight following the way to the middle P mark. To access the entrance from Mramorak, head to the village with the same name and follow the turn left to the southern P mark. Click on any P in the map to get directions or coordinates.
All three entry points are interesting in different ways, while Devojački Bunar is the most accessible and has the most tourist infrastructure, Dolovo and Mramorak are more productive for birding. There are many, many paths and sandy roads through Deliblato Sands, especially near the borders. Some suggested paths are drawn on the map, but feel free to explore additional paths (as seen on the satellite map) that lead to your preferred habitat, grassland, scattered bushes, low-deciduous forest, or agricultural. Still, put focus on the borders where the sand and forest patches meet agricultural land, as the biodiversity peaks there.
