Very nice place. I saw large flocks of small birds in the reeds. Češljugar, tits, pipits, buntings, also Sjenica Mošnjarka and Crnoglavi Batić, Šivalica and Vlastelica. I rated the area with 4.5 stars, only because the lagoon is unfortunately almost dry.

Sehr schöner Ort. Ich habe große Schwärme von Kleinvögeln im Schilf gesehen. Stieglitze, Meisen, Pieper, Ammern, auch Beutelmeisen und Schwarzkehlchen, Zistensänger und Stelzen. Nur 4,5 Sterne, weil die Lagune leider fast trocken ist.

The lagoons are dry, except the third one SW of the red dot on above map. A few Utva and Patka Kreketaljka seen. However Droplja could be seen in the surrounding fields. I counted 34 early Monday morning (1.4.).

This part of the reserve is currently completely dry, due to the severe drought affecting the region. Droplja
