Descrizione
The Bank of Major Gavrilovic, colloquially called Dorcolski kej (Dorcol Quay), is possibly the best winter wildfowling spot in the city.
Highlight species: Smergo maggiore, Smergo minore, Pesciaiola, Fistione turco, Moretta grigia, Orco marino, Strolaga minore and Strolaga mezzana. These days (winter 2025) look out for the Svasso collorosso, Svasso cornuto, Moretta codona, plus American Moretta dal collare. There is a breeding pair of Aquila di mare at the Veliko Ratno Island and they can be seen year-round, but the best chances are in winter, when they hunt ducks around the island. Also, about 4000 Marangone minore overwinter in the city in recent years (down from 7000 15 years ago).
In late February and March, the only duck species that does not overwinter here is heading back – the Marzaiola. By the end of March, Cicogna nera are back (they will be noticeable on autumn migration in late September and October, too), as well as Nitticora. In March and November Gru are a possibility.

NoInformazioni aggiuntive
Beside a few small flocks by the bank, most of the birds will be in shallows by the Veliko Ratno Island, some 400+ metres away, which calls for a scope.
No need to hurry in the morning because there is often mist hanging above the water. It happened to me that there wasn't even a trace of fog in the city, so I went down to the river - which then I couldn't see at all, not to mention the birds. There is always some breeze over the river, which is very unpleasant in winter - don't forget a warm hat and gloves.
