Description
The main town park in Opovo is known as the best Ciuf de pădure wintering site in the South Banat region. Usually, tens and sometimes hundreds of Ciuf de pădure can be found on conifer trees in the park. Occasionally, there is also a Ciuf de câmp among them.
In the spring, a small lake, channel, and the surrounding reeds at the southeast of the town can hide marsh species like Stârc galben, Lăcar mare and Boicuș.
If you are willing to spend some more time, worth visiting is the forest at the Tamiš riverbanks to the south as well as Vencov vinograd (Vence's vineyards) Tamiš old riverbed to the north.
