Descrizione
The proximity of Carska Bara ('Royal Wetland') and Bara Tiganjica ('Pan-shaped Pond') native wetlands, in combination with a lot of food sources from the other Ečka fish farm lakes and ponds scattered around the Belo Jezero ('White Lake') attracts numerous bird species, especially during migration.
More than 190 bird species were recorded at Belo Jezero fishing farm, including Spatola, Falco pescatore (on migration), Basettino, Pettazzurro, Cavaliere d'Italia, Avocetta, Chiurlo maggiore (winter), Pittima reale, Piovanello pancianera and many other shorebirds. Some 400-500 Cigno reale are regular at the lake, while the breeding colony of Airone cenerino is located at the edge of the nearby pond Traktor Bara ('Tractor Pond').
Belo Jezero is a fantastic place to look for local rarities during migration: Chiurlo piccolo, Albastrello, Piovanello comune, Gambecchio comune, and Gabbianello are quite possible, while Piovanello tridattilo, Gambecchio frullino, Voltapietre, Pittima minore, Pivieressa, Piviere dorato, Piviere americano, Fratino, Falaropo beccosottile, Beccaccia di mare, Gabbiano corallino, Sterna maggiore, Sterna zampenere, and Smergo minore (winter) are also recorded.
This 5,40 km² area lake with an average depth of only 1.33 m was turned into a fishing farm way back in 1762.
Dettagli
Accesso
The area is accessible via the regional road Belgrade - Zrenjanin from which the local road to Belo Blato ('White Mud') detours. After 1.2 km turn right to the local road for Lukino Selo ('Luka's Village'). Immediately after the turn, there is a small parking place, convenient to access the broader area, including Traktor Bara and numerous smaller fishing farms between Belo Jezero and Begej river.
There is a pasture between the lake and the local road to Lukino Selo, where it is also possible to park. From there, it is possible to walk along the lake shore, as well as to walk down to the grassy beach and take a closer look at all those various shorebirds.
South of the lake, there is Motel Sibila (which is currently not operational) with a spacious parking place, from where Traktor Bara pond and Bara Tiganjica reed are just across the local road.
