Description

Labudovo Okno is the place where the agricultural plain of Deliblato meets the Danube river near the Romanian - Serbian border. Because of the building of Djerdap Dam, Danube has flooded surrounding Stevan’s Plains (Serbian: Stevanove ravnice) and made perfect habitat for gathering of birds. Here you can see all kinds of waterfowl species, mainly at winter time. Γκισάρι, Μαυροκέφαλη Πάπια, (Ευρωπαϊκή) Βουκεφάλα, Σταχτόπαπια and Χειμωνοβουτηχτάρι are regular species that gather at winter time. There are also quite many geese that gather here, mainly Σταχτόχηνα and Ασπρομέτωπη Χήνα.

During spring migration there are few species of gulls and terns, some other birds like Τσαλαπετεινός, (Ευρωπαϊκός) Θαλασσαετός, (Κοινή) Φαλαρίδα, Πρασινοκέφαλη Πάπια and Ψαλίδα (του Βορά). During fall migration there are many small birds migrating through here, species like Grey-headed Wagtail (thunbergi), Κιτρινοστριτσίδα, Σχοινοποταμίδα, Καλαμοποταμίδα and Σταχτομυγοχάφτης. Also there are migrating raptors like Ψαραετός and (Ευρωπαϊκός) Σφηκιάρης.
