Beschrijving

The Salina is home to many birds with 19 globally endangered species are documented. In total, about 250 species can be seen here, amounting to roughly 70% of all bird species in Montenegro and about half of all native species occuring in Europe. For hundreds of thousands of birds the Salina is an important breeding, resting or wintering site. It is labelled as Important Bird Area by BirdLife International. Magnificent birds like the Flamingo, the Kroeskoppelikaan and the Lepelaar can be observed in Ulcinj Salina. The Steltkluut is a typical species present here, and unsurprisingly the Salina is the only breeding place for this little, long-legged bird in Montenegro. While roughly 100 breeding pairs have been documented in Ulcinj Salina at the end of the 1980s, their number has decreased to only about 50 pairs in 2017 – one of many signs of the deterioration of this unique site along the Adriatic east coast.
