Description

Kiesgrube Kleinpösna offers a few artificial lakes as well as agricultural fields. Here, you can find bird species such as siva gos, beločela gos, priba, nilska gos, čopasta črnica, sivka, vrbji kova ek, bela pastirica, lišček, ščinkavec, kanja, rjavi škarnik , skobec and many more.

NOTE: This whole area is still an active gravel quarry, and there's a highway nearby. So it isn't the most idyllic and quiet birding spot. Also, the Northeastern lake is heavily used by fishermen.

Perhaps this area might need a few more years to develop into a really nice birding spot!
