For species such as Velika carska šljuka, Barska šljuka , Muljača , Vivak , Crvenonogi sprudnik , Sprudnik migavac , Sprudnik pijukavac it is an important stopover on the way to the northern breeding areas. Other notable spring guests are Kašičar , Mala bela čaplja and Velika bela čaplja. In the varied area, birds such as Modrovoljka and Sabljarka breed.
