Descripción

The Veliko Blato reserve on the island of Pag is one of the top birding spots in Croatia. The wetland has a length of about 2 km and an average width of 1.2 km. It forms a shelter for a wide variety of marsh birds, especially during the nesting, migration and hibernation period. The northern part of the reserve is surrounded by reeds and some varieties of sedges. The edge of the lake is covered with meadows which are sometimes flooded in spring and fall. The southern part of the reserve is surrounded by karst terrain and stony fields. Among the birds you can see here are Culebrera Europea, Cernícalo Primilla, Milano Negro, Bisbita Campestre, Collalba Gris, Lavandera Boyera, Aguilucho Cenizo, Andarríos Bastardo, Porrón Pardo, Garceta Grande, Garza Imperial and Avetorillo común.

There is an elevated bird hide on the north side of the lake. From the little wood on the west side of the lake a lovely path of 1 km runs along the north shore of the lake to the bird hide. Another path which is good to check out runs along the south side of the lake through stony fields and is excellent to spot Alcaraván Común and Perdiz Griega. Also check out the little wood for Abubilla común, Alcaudón Común and Escribano Soteño. The few houses and sheds near the lake are good to scan for Mochuelo Europeo at dusk. And the numerous low stone walls throughout the area are good to scan for Perdiz Griega.
