A small body of water surrounded by farmland. In summer, when the water level is lower, muddy banks are exposed, perfect for waders.

There is a chance for rarer species like Sárjáró, Sarki partfutó and Fenyérfutó. Also observed here are vándorpartfutó and Fehérfarkú lilebíbic. In the spring, all the "spring" ducks also stop here: Kanalas réce, Nyílfarkú réce, Böjti réce, Csörgo réce and Fütyülő réce. In late autumn you can meet here a large number of Daru and Énekes hattyú. During the breeding season Bíbic, Küszvágó csér, Kis lile and Nyári lúd nest here.
