Golubac 'Sea'

Branicevo County  >  Serbia

The river Danube reaches five kilometres in width here, and this 'sea' is a significant wintering area for many waterbirds, especially divers and sea ducks.

Descrizione

Observe from the main Djerdap magistral road, stopping at the few vantage points which permit scanning across the vast Danube surface. In winter, a spotting scope is necessary.

In winter you can expect Moretta grigia, Pesciaiola, Smergo maggiore, Smergo minore, Quattrocchi, Strolaga mezzana and Strolaga minore, Svasso cornuto, Marangone minore, Oca lombardella, sometimes Orco marino. While you are near the Golubac fortress, check the nearby rock faces and quarries for Picchio muraiolo. Finally, to find a few more duck species, plus the Albanella reale and Falco di palude, visit the more narrow section of the river upstream from the village of Vinci. Avoid windy days – the birds will be looking for cover away from the bank.

In spring, those formidable cliffs are known to hold Rondone maggiore (resembling kids screaming on a rollercoaster), Eurasian Rondine montana, Rondine rossiccia, and Zigolo muciatto.

A strong easterly wind is common in the area, which can make birding challenging.
