Description
Vinča Pond lies beyond the eastern suburbs of Belgrade, between the Belgrade city's main landfill and the Danube River.
Numerous waterfowl find the Vinča Pond an attractive wintering destination. Hundreds of sinisorsa, harmaasorsa, tavi, haapana, and Lapasorsa are coming to the pond in winter. With waterfowl, also come the birds of prey, like ruskosuohaukka, merikotka, and in some winters also kiljukotka. The hilly slopes of Vinča and the sandy terrain south of the pond attract numerous hiirihaukka.
The pond is the part of IBA area 'Ušće Save u Dunav'.

Access
