Description

Nový Vrbenský rybník is a part of a nature reserve Vrbenské Rybníky, which includes four major ponds (Černiš, Domin, Starý and Nový Vrbenský rybník) and surrounding meadows and wetlands. This protected area provides perfect habitat for breeding and feeding for various species of birds. This pond is typical for the South Bohemian region which means is rather shallow, but vast with dense vegetation on the shores. The characteristic sign of this pond is a small island in the middle, known as a nesting site of Колпица.

Besides breeding Колпица, there are many other species of birds characteristic for water habitats, such as Кряква, Серая утка, Широконоска, Красноносый нырок, Красноголовый нырок, Малая поганка, Черношейная поганка , Чомга, Водяной пастушок, Кваква , Малая белая цапля, Большая белая цапля, Большая выпь, Камышница, Нильский гусь, Пеганка, Лебедь-шипун and Гуменник. In the bushy vegetation in the surrounding, there are also many other species, i.e. Большой пёстрый дятел, Вяхирь, Кольчатая горлица, and many passerines: Большая синица, Лазоревка, Черноголовая гаичка, Ополовник, Тростниковая овсянка, Обыкновенный поползень. A few years ago also Орлан-белохвост started to appear in this area.
