Fishponds with a restricted access. Available only to be seen from a distance. However, a great biodiversity of organisms can be found here.
Posada Zarszyńska fishponds and wetland meadows surrounding the area from the East are quite an interesting, yet small pond complex, where there can be found a lot of bird species, especially during migration. Direct access to enter the ponds is RESTRICTED (you need the owner's permission to do so). The only other option (at the moment) is watching from the distance (preferably from the small hill on the southern part of the complex).
Many species of waterfowl can be found here, especially during migration and winter, i.e.: Чирок-трескунок, Широконоска, Свиязь, Шилохвость, Чирок-свистунок, Красноголовый нырок, Белоглазый нырок, Хохлатая чернеть, Гоголь, Луток, Большой крохаль.
The fishponds are regularly patrolled by Орлан-белохвост and Болотный лунь for prey. During spring migration Скопа can also be seen. Many migrating gulls and terns also tend to stop here.
The reed beds are home to Водяной пастушок, Камышница, Лысуха and many passerines, especially from genus Acrocephalus.
Большой баклан and grebes are common, especially during migration.
Some other species that can be seen around or during migration: Серый гусь, Лебедь-шипун, Серая утка, Кряква, Погоныш, Малый погоныш, Серый журавль, Ходулочник, Чибис, Малый зуёк, Большой веретенник, Турухтан, Гаршнеп, Бекас, Перевозчик, Черныш, Щёголь, Большой улит, Фифи, Травник, Чёрный аист, Белый аист, Серая цапля, Рыжая цапля, Большая белая цапля, Обыкновенный зимородок, Чеглок, Соловьиный сверчок, Усатая синица, Тростниковая овсянка.
Direct access is RESTRICTED (you need owner's permission to enter). But, you can observe birds from the distance (the hill on the southern side seems to be the best and most commonly used). You can get there by foot/bike/car from Zarszyn. There is no true parking (you can leave vehicles at the side of the road but keep in mind tractors and other large vehicles passing by). Public transport to Zarszyn is available in form of buses (from Krosno and Sanok) and train (also between Krosno-Sanok). It's best to observe everything from the viewpoint, eventually you can explore area around fishponds by foot.
Keep in mind the presence of other people (fishponds' maintenance, farmers, off-road enthusiasts, lumberjacks, hunters).
