Description
In the large open area of the Vehnemoor typical marsh breeders such as ливадска трепетилка, Синогушка, Мочварна овесарка, сив жерав, обична бекасина, голем српоклун свиркач, црвенонога тринга and мал пескар are common in spring and summer. There is also a small colony of езерски галеб and single pairs обичен галеб. The forested area in the central part is a breeding place for козодој, брезов свиркач and шумска трепетилка.
On spring migration parts that just have been recently renaturalised are also good spots for Waders. Most numerous species are зеленонога тринга, шарена тринга, шумска тринга, среден пескар and белоопашест свиркач. From late April to August (best time is first decade of May) other Wader species such as обичен свиркач, бел свиркач, камењарче, белокрстен свиркач and мал свиркач could be watched here.
In winter the area is used as a roosting site for huge numbers of Greater White-Fronted Geese & Bean Geese, Common Cranes and swans.

Access
There are four ways to access the moor (see map). One road through the area could be used by car, others are forbidden to use and blocked with barriers. But those can be explored on foot.
