Branicevo County  >  Serbia

The river Danube reaches five kilometres in width here, and this 'sea' is a significant wintering area for many waterbirds, especially divers and sea ducks.

Descrição

Observe from the main Djerdap magistral road, stopping at the few vantage points which permit scanning across the vast Danube surface. In winter, a spotting scope is necessary.

In winter you can expect Zarro-bastardo, Merganso-pequeno, Merganso-grande, Merganso-de-poupa, Pato-olho-d'ouro, Mobêlha-árctica and Mobêlha-pequena, Mergulhão-de-pescoço-castanho, Corvo-marinho-pigmeu, Ganso-grande-de-testa-branca, sometimes Pato-fusco. While you are near the Golubac fortress, check the nearby rock faces and quarries for Trepadeira-dos-muros. Finally, to find a few more duck species, plus the Tartaranhão-azulado and Tartaranhão-ruivo-dos-pauis, visit the more narrow section of the river upstream from the village of Vinci. Avoid windy days – the birds will be looking for cover away from the bank.

In spring, those formidable cliffs are known to hold Andorinhão-real (resembling kids screaming on a rollercoaster), Eurasian Androinha-das-rochas, Andorinha-dáurica, and Cia.

A strong easterly wind is common in the area, which can make birding challenging.
