Description

Mužlja Reeds and Sands is an interesting area, created after abandoned sand and gravel pits are filled with water, creating a unique landscape with lakes, ponds, reeds, sand dunes, and cliffs.

As such, it is a perfect habitat for модроврана, пчеларка, Цуцулеста чучулига, брегова ластовичка and обично камењарче. Also commmon are Синогушка, планинско ливадарче, обично страче, мало страче, мал трскар, црвена чапја, and блатна еја. During August and September, the remaining ponds are visited by various shorebirds, including many Tringa and Calidris species.

Extra info

Currently, the new highway Belgrade-Zrenjanin-Novi Sad is being built immediately north of the hotspot. There might be a lot of machinery and a lot of noise, but new ponds may also arise because of earthwork.

Mužlja Reeds and Sands are sometimes a paintball polygon, hopefully not at the time of your visit.
