Beschrijving

Bara Dvorina stretches along the left bank of the Sava River between the embankment near Donja Bebrina and the river itself. This pond with the surrounding floodplain is the last major wetland area in the vicinity of Slavonski Brod. Since there is no embankment along the Sava River here, the entire area of over 600 ha is often flooded all the way to the embankment south of Donja Bebrina. When the water recedes, the wet grasslands around the pond are used by the locals of Donja Bebrina and Klakara as pastures.

In the spring, this area has a very rare and beautiful scenery. The water surface, covered with European white and yellow water lilies, surrounded by a dark green belt of sedges and yellow iris, is embraced by pastures filled with horses, cows, pigs and geese. The following birds nest on the pond: Fuut, Dodaars, Witoogeend, Witwangstern, Visdief, Waterral and Grote Karekiet. The surrounding wet grasslands are the nesting grounds of Kievit and Veldleeuwerik. In previous years, Kwartelkoning also nested there, but it has not been recorded lately. Ooievaar feed on the grasslands and nest in the surrounding villages. Other birds that are often observed are Wielewaal, Grauwe Klauwier, Nachtegaal, Kleine Bonte Specht and Watersnip.

Dvorina is the richest in bird species during spring and autumn migrations, and partly in winter. Then the water surface increases and, as long as it does not freezes over, large concentrations of wetland birds from all over Europe linger here. Various ducks, grebes, herons, storks, predators, gulls, terns, swallows and other songbirds and shorebirds rest and feed in Dvorina.
