Description
The island is untouched despite the day tourists who come here or summer guests who have a bungalow here. It consists entirely of dunes and is covered with shrubs in the center. The island is ideal for winter visitors and migratory birds. Be sure to stop at the 2 pools in the center of the island. There you have a good chance to see nice species up close like Muharica, Bijela pastirica ssp yarrellii, Grey-headed Wagtail (thunbergi), Kokošica en Trstenjak Mlakar.
