Description
The Alberca de Cortés reservoir is surrounded by a flat, easy-to-follow path with dense vegetation that hides visitors and prevents birds from seeing visitors. The diversity of species is very high, not only aquatic birds such as Mlakuša, Mala Prutka, Liska, Mala Bijela Čaplja, Siva Čaplja and Eja Močvarica. But also Bijela roda, Pčelarica, and Vuga are frequent. The environment is mainly composed of crops, so the vegetation surrounding the reservoir also attracts more species to take shelter and make their nests.

La diversidad de especies es muy alta, no sólo aves de acuáticas como Mlakuša, Mala Prutka, Liska, Mala Bijela Čaplja, Siva Čaplja, Eja Močvarica. También son frecuentes Bijela roda, Pčelarica, Vuga. El entorno es básicamente tierra de cultivo, por lo que la vegetación también atrae a más especies para refugiarse y hacer sus nidos.
