Here the populations of Falco di palude, Schiribilla, Gru and Pettazzurro are the largest in the country. During migration there are huge amount of Gru, geese, ducks, sandpipers and other flocks of birds. Zuvintas wet meadows - is one of two locations in Lithuania, where the extremely rare, globally endangered Pagliarolo can be found.

Dettagli

Accesso

Although it is certainly a place worth visiting, especially for its beauty, there is only one accesible place, the observation tower near the reception center, which is reached by a wooden path in very bad condition (be careful here). Being a fairly large lake, you will need a telescope to be able to watch birds.

Informazioni aggiuntive

Information added by user Gulliver: Spring and Autumn are good times to observe large flocks of geese and ducks. But in summer, almost all migratory songbirds have gone and only low numbers of birds remain in the lake: Cormorano, Germano reale, Pavoncella, Oca selvatica, Airone bianco maggiore, Falco di palude, etc. August is a good time to see Aquila di mare in their perch in the opposite shore of the lake (telescope). In the surrounding cultivated fields you will be able to see Starna, Gru, Cicogna bianca, Zigolo giallo, Stiaccino and Averla piccola.
