Description

Dubovacki Rit Reserve lies between the village of Dubovac and the river Danube, is about a mile long and consists of open water, reedbeds and willow and poplar riparian forest, with adjoining junipers on grassy sand dunes. Surrounding Danube shallows are a significant wintering area for waterbirds.

Once you reach the wetland, checking the western/upriver section is more rewarding in winter, while going east/downriver is more productive in spring. In winter you may look for Aigle criard, Oie des moissons, Oie rieuse, Oie cendrée, Tadorne de Belon, Harle piette, Harle bièvre, Fuligule nyroca, Plongeon arctique, Cormoran pygmée, Goéland pontique, Grive litorne, Grive mauvis, Grive draine.

From March onwards for Sarcelle d'été, Cigogne noire, Cigogne blanche and Bihoreau gris. From April for Héron pourpré, Blongios nain, Buse féroce and three marsh terns ( Guifette noire, Guifette moustac, Guifette leucoptère ). Râle d'eau and Marouette ponctuée were also recorded here, as well as Avocette élégante, Bécasseau variable and Bécasseau minute. Tourterelle des bois, Guêpier d'Europe, Pie-grièche écorcheur, Huppe fasciée and Hirondelle de rivage (about 5,000 pairs downriver from Dubovac) breed here and are conspicuous in spring.

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

Détails

Accès

Access is from the village of Dubovac, 70 km / 80 min east of Belgrade.

The western section is more disturbed by development, although the levee up the Danube is well worth checking, especially in winter. To reach the western section, turn right at the first cross junction (coming from the direction of the town of Kovin, route marked on the map).

The eastern section has a more natural feeling and preserved habitats. For the eastern section, follow the first or the second dirt track right, after the Dubovac village.

For driving directions, zoom in on the map and click on the "P" (parking) sign. Technically, you can park wherever and explore further on foot. There's not much shade, so wear a hat and take water with you.
