The Paljuvi Reservoir has 180 so far recorded species almost single-handedly observed by UK expat Geoff Laight.
The Paljuvi Reservoir lies 70 km southwest of Belgrade, halfway between the towns of Lazarevac and Ub.
Best birds of the Paljuvi include rjava čaplja, kvakač, čopasta čaplja, čapljica, kostanjevka, belolična čigra, pritlikavi kormoran, čuk, lesna sova, sirijski detel, črna žolna, kobilar and rjavi srakoper. Followed by local rarities such as Temminckov prodnik, črni martinec, plevica and, on migration, beloperuta čigra, črna čigra, zlatovranka and the rdečenoga postovka. The reservoir is surrounded by traditional farming landscape, adding the divja grlica and the vrtni strnad to the scene. In winter months look out for pinoža , dlesk , čižek , and siva pevka.
By car only. Park wherever you like. Explore by walking, or further driving. Basically, the dam wall and the western side are those truly productive areas (the far southwest where the river enters the lake creating a marshy habitat is underbirded and worthy of more time); while the eastern side is mostly just an access road to a good shorebirds watching spot. The Paljuvi Dam lies between the regional Ibarski put/Road and the new Milos the Great motorway, 70 km / 70 min southwest of Belgrade. Click on the P on the map to get driving directions.
