Descripción
The Slatina area is an important breeding site for many birds connected to reedbeds such as Avetorillo común (the only location of this species in Prague), Buscarla Unicolor, Rascón Europeo, Carricero Tordal, Carricero Común, Gallineta Común or Escribano Palustre. Also the Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental is breeding here. On the pond itself breeds many pairs of Somormujo Lavanco, Focha Común, Ánade azulón and a few pairs of Porrón Europeo and Porrón Moñudo. In the linked rural areas breed Alcaudón Dorsirrojo, Buscarla Pintoja, Ruiseñor Común and many others. Nearby there is a breeding site of Avión Zapador.
During the spring migration you can see birds such as Ruiseñor Pechiazul, Tarabilla Norteña, Tarabilla común, Papamoscas Cerrojillo, Cerceta Carretona and many other species of waterfowl, Agachadiza común, Avefría Europea and many, many more species.
Many birds come to spend a night in the reedbed, especially in the end of summer. It is the best place in the area where to watch Estornino Pinto murmuration. Also Golondrina Común and Lavandera Boyera come here to spend a night.
During the weekend the location can be overcrowded by people such as fishermen or bikers so I recommend you to visit the location during weekdays. Please do not disturb birds in their breeding habitats and use just visible pathways!

Accesso
Easily accesible by car. There is a small parking lot in the north of the pond. You can also arrive by public transport using a bus to station Dolnoměcholupská and then 30 minutes walking using the biking trail. It is possible to make a circular route, but only the eastern side of the pond has a paved road.
