Description
In Area naturalistica del Tavello the river bed forms a complex system on meanders, giving birth to a little biodiversity hotspot. .
You can see all year long water birds like Veliki Vranac , Mali Vranac , Divlja Patka , Crvenokljuni Labud , Mlakuša and herons (almost every italian species during migrations), and, especially during migratory season, other species of ducks, like Patka Žličarka , Kržulja , Patka Pupčanica , Patka Njorka , grebes, rails like Liska , Kokošica , gulls: Galeb klaukavac , Riječni Galeb , Crnoglavi Galeb and waders, for example: Crnokrila Prutka , Prutka Migavica , Mala Prutka , Krivokljuna Prutka , Pršljivac , Kulik Sljepčić , Šljuka Kokošica .The best period to see waders and sometimes Crvenokljuna Čigra and Debelokljuna Čigra is probably around july, when they are migrating and the level of the river is pretty low and the meander bars create some little shores.
In the little lowland forest, often partially or mostly flooded almost in a "mangroves style", and in the many bushes around, you can see always see and hear Veliki Djetlić , Zelena žuna and sometimes even Crna žuna , water birds ,Kobac , Golub Grivnjaš and many passerines. For example during migration: Crnoglava Muharica , Brezov Zviždak , Šumski Zviždak , Slavuj , Siva Grmuša , Grmuša Pjenica , Muharica , Drozd Cikelj and many more. The rid bed is almost non-existent, apart from some little spots, but you can see Trstenjak Mlakar , and I once I even found a Bukavac resting there!
In the summer are present Kukavica , Grlica , Vuga , and raptors like Škanjac osaš and Sokol Lastavičar .
It's good to check the cultivated fields that surround the area, you can also cross them in certain points (beware to not step on the crops). Here come to feed gulls, herons, Vivak and passerines like crows, Bijela Pastirica , Žuta Pastirica , Planinska trepteljka . Some of the fields are also crossed by a series of country edges, where you can see Veliki svračak (winter), Rusi Svračak , Kratkokrili Voljić (mid/late spring and late summer).
You can also see amphibians, like Rana letestei, Hyla intermedia, Pelophylax esculentus, and reptiles: Trachemys scripta, Natrix natrix, Hierophis viridiflavus, Lacerta bilineata, Podarcis muralis.
There are mammals like hares, roe deers...

Access
You can explore the zone walking or by mountain bike, the area of biggest interest is about 20 minutes from the parking by foot. Once there you can watch the oxbows of the river, the trees and the fields from the different trail, with the main one elevated from the rest of the plain. Beware that some of the little patches near the river may be flooded if it's a rainy period. I don't think it's possible to axcess by wheel chair, exept from the area near the parking (Parco di Punta Speron) where sometimes you still can do some pretty cool observation sometimes. For example here it's possible to see Mala Prutka , wagtails, swallows, in winter even Vodenkos .
You can also go and visit the Villa Pacchierotti De Benedetti, keeping an eye on the tree lines and the small pond near the road.
