Descripción

In Škocjanski Zatok Nature Reserve since 2001 a total of 259 different bird species have been recorded on this protected area of 122,7 hectares. Up to 50 species of breeding birds have been recorded at the reserve so far, although the exact number varies from year to year. There are two separate areas you can visit: a brackish lagoon and a freshwater marsh. In the brackish lagoon you can see birds like Charrancito Común, Charrán Común, Chorlitejo patinegro, Avoceta Común and Cigüeñuela común. The freshwater marsh offers an excellent breeding habitat for several species which are rare breeders in Slovenia, such as Avetorillo común, Rascón Europeo, Cistícola Buitrón and Garza Imperial, the latter nesting only here and nowhere else in the country. Also you can often see Cormorán Pigmeo and Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental. The dense reedbeds and waterside bushes are occupied by many pairs of Carricerín Común, Carricero Común, Carricero Tordal and Cetia Ruiseñor.

In winter the reserve hosts large numbers of waterbirds. Many ducks, geese and grebes, but also small flocks of Pájaro-moscón Europeo, Escribano Palustre and Bigotudo. The wet meadows are a favoured feeding area of Agachadiza común, Zarapito Real and Bisbita Alpino. But there are many more birds you can encounter, see the birdlist below.
