Description

The Reva Pond lies in the suburb of Krnjaca. A century ago, this was the canal that was naturally draining the 400 km2 (155 mi2) of wetland, of which nowadays only narrow backwaters, and some ponds, like Reva, remain.

Reva has the semi-natural feeling of a forgotten green oasis at the outskirts of a busy city. Four active nests of Pygargue à queue blanche s are located in this and the neighbouring Reva-Čapljin Levees area, making this the highest population density of this species anywhere in Serbia! Of course, their foraging areas cover a much larger territory of tens of square kilometers each.

Hence, the local highlights are Pygargue à queue blanches, easily spotted Blongios nains and Crabier chevelus, and the most successful Cygne tuberculé pair in the city (commonly raising 8 grey fluffy chicks each year), Fuligule nyroca, Sarcelle d'été, Tourterelle des bois, Guifette moustac, Râle d'eau, Cigogne noire, Cormoran pygmée, Pic syriaque, Coucou gris, Faucon hobereau, Pie-grièche écorcheur, Grand Corbeau, Rémiz penduline and Bruant des roseaux, among the 150 locally recorded bird species (120 of them strictly protected).

Also, this is a good site for Eurasian Otter spotting. Keep in mind that Coypu (Myocastor coypus) is also present and that you can confuse this species with an otter.

The Reva Pond is a part of the international ecological corridor along the Danube River, as well as the “Confluence of the Sava and the Danube Rivers” Important Bird Area (IBA).

Informations supplémentaires

On sunny days try not to come here too early, because most of the pond stretches towards the east and the sun glare on the water surface will effectively blind you.
