Description

Kallahdenniemen Uimaranta: the beach is a great place to watch birds during migration seasons as many species stop to rest and feed near the shore. Migrating waders are among the most interesting birds to see on the beach and it's possible to see a lot of rarer species if one is lucky. Oštrigar and Mala Prutka are a pretty common sight by the beach and it's possible to spot waders like Žalar Cirikavac , Prutka Migavica , Krivokljuni Žalar ,Krivokljuna Prutka , Kulik Blatarić , Kulik Sljepčić , Sijedi Žalar , Pršljivac , Prugasti Pozviždač , Riđa muljača and Crna Prutka. Some lucky birders have even spotted Modronoga Sabljarka here.

Burni Galeb , Riječni Galeb , Galeb Klaukavac , Mali tamnoleđi galeb , Crvenokljuna Čigra , Arktička čigra and Velika čigra are regular birds by the beach. Veliki ronac , Mali ronac , Crvenokljuni Labud ,Divlja Patka , Patka Batoglavica , Krunata Patka and Kanadska guska are also common water fowl.

While waiting for waders to make an appearance it's also good to keep an eye on the reeds and their surroundings as you can spot common birds like Bijela Pastirica but also Žuta Pastirica if you're in luck. When small birds are around birds of prey aren't far behind in the form of Kobac , Jastreb , Eja Močvarica and Sokol Lastavičar. Some very lucky birders have also seen Vodomar stop briefly on the area.

Extra info

When the water level is low, there are more open places for waders to forage on and they're easier to spot during those times. The tiny island in front of the beach also becomes accessible by foot at that time.
