Description
The waterbirds are generally good at Čenta Fish Farm, e.g. waders include kulík riečný, hvizdák malý, pobrežník krivozobý, kalužiak tmavý, kalužiak močiarny, kalužiak štíhly. čorík bahenný and kormorán malý are common. Herons include bučiačik močiarny, volavka purpurová, čaplička vlasatá, chavkoš nočný, as well as uncommon hltavka chochlatá and ibisovec hnedý ; while marsh songbirds include kúdeľníčka lužná, fúzatka trstinová, trsteniarik obyčajný, trsteniarik veľký and svrčiak slávikovitý. The central pasture doubles as the air force training ground, hence the field is dotted by small yet deep explosion craters - mini-reedbeds with trsteniarik malýs and volavka purpurovás.
Personally, I usually visit the area for grassland species, e.g. prepelica poľná, hrdlička poľná, kaňa popolavá, dudok chochlatý, strakoš obyčajný, strakoš kolesár, slávik obyčajný, uncommon slávik modrák, žľtochvost domový, pŕhľaviar čiernohlavý, trasochvost žltý, etc.

Access
By the northern end of the Čenta village turn into an inconspicuous dirt road leading to the Veliki Alas fish farm, an abandoned Tamis River oxbow lake north of the village. If there were rains recently, this first section of 300 metres is not passable by car (and sometimes because of the deep ruts left by tractor tyres it may not be passable even when dry).
After this, turn left and follow the mostly good dirt track (yet, with several large potholes). It will take you along the oxbow lake (left hand side is not used for fish production and the entrance is not restricted) and through a pasture with scattered bushes, a lot of dust (I mean a lot!) and no shade. Carry plenty of water on hot days.
