Description
The Langwieser See is a small lake. The lake itself isn't very good for birding, but sometimes you can spot Vodomar there. In the reed area about 100 meters east of the lake, in winter you can see for example Močvarna Strnadica and sometimes also Kokošica. In summer it's full of Trstenjak cvrkutić. West to the lake, there are nice water reservoirs, which in winter often contain Mala Šljuka (best to spot with a thermal imaging camera), and sometimes Šljuka Kokošica.
South to the reservoirs, there is a smal bush land with Žuta strnadica, Češljugar and in winter often Sjeverna Zeba. In the gardens and trees along the small stream you can find Čižak in winter and Šumska Crvenperka and Grmuša Pjenica in summer. Sometimes you can also hear a Slavuj here.
Very good are the fields around the whole area. During migration you can see Livadna Trepetljka, Trstenjak Mlakar, Crnoglavi Batić (sometimes also staying over winter), Jastreb, Sivkasta Bjeloguza, Žuta Pastirica, Grmuša čevrljinka and rarely Vijoglav, Vivak and Eja Strnjarica. All year round you will find Juričica, Poljska Ševa, Siva Čaplja and Vjetruša. Sometimes you can also see Trčka, Kobac or Sivi Sokol.
