Description
The Slatina area is an important breeding site for many birds connected to reedbeds such as Čapljica (the only location of this species in Prague), Obični cvrčić, Barski petlovan, Veliki trstenjak, Trstenjak crvrkutić, Barska kokica or Barska strnadica. Also the Eja močvarica is breeding here. On the pond itself breeds many pairs of Ćubasti gnjurac, Liska, Gluvara and a few pairs of Riđoglava patka and Ćubasta patka. In the linked rural areas breed Rusi svračak, Cvrčić tršćar, Mali slavuj and many others. Nearby there is a breeding site of Bregunica.
During the spring migration you can see birds such as Modrovoljka, Obična travarka, Crnoglava travarka, Crnovrata muharica, Grogotovac and many other species of waterfowl, Barska šljuka, Vivak and many, many more species.
Many birds come to spend a night in the reedbed, especially in the end of summer. It is the best place in the area where to watch Čvorak murmuration. Also Seoska lasta and Žuta pliska come here to spend a night.
During the weekend the location can be overcrowded by people such as fishermen or bikers so I recommend you to visit the location during weekdays. Please do not disturb birds in their breeding habitats and use just visible pathways!

Easily accesible by car. There is a small parking lot in the north of the pond. You can also arrive by public transport using a bus to station Dolnoměcholupská and then 30 minutes walking using the biking trail. It is possible to make a circular route, but only the eastern side of the pond has a paved road.
