Golubac 'Sea'

Branicevo County  >  Serbia

The river Danube reaches five kilometres in width here, and this 'sea' is a significant wintering area for many waterbirds, especially divers and sea ducks.

Descripción

Observe from the main Djerdap magistral road, stopping at the few vantage points which permit scanning across the vast Danube surface. In winter, a spotting scope is necessary.

In winter you can expect Porrón Bastardo, Serreta Chica, Serreta Grande, Serreta Mediana, Porrón Osculado, Colimbo Ártico and Colimbo Chico, Zampullín Cuellirrojo, Cormorán Pigmeo, Ánsar careto, sometimes Negrón especulado. While you are near the Golubac fortress, check the nearby rock faces and quarries for Treparriscos. Finally, to find a few more duck species, plus the Aguilucho pálido and Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental, visit the more narrow section of the river upstream from the village of Vinci. Avoid windy days – the birds will be looking for cover away from the bank.

In spring, those formidable cliffs are known to hold Vencejo Real (resembling kids screaming on a rollercoaster), Eurasian Avión Roquero, Golondrina Dáurica, and Escribano Montesino.

A strong easterly wind is common in the area, which can make birding challenging.
