Extra info

Winter is the most interesting time. Greylag Goose, Brent Goose, European Golden Plover and Northern Lapwing appear. There are also raptors. Large number of Eurasian Coot and Great Crested Grebe. On other times of the year it is also possible to enjoy the place although the most unique species are no longer there. But this is compensated by the number of birds and other rare species, such as Black-crowned Night Heron and Little Bittern.
