Description

The Slivsø lake was drained in 1957-1959 to be used for agriculture. Fortunately, in 2004 most of it was restored. There are several small islands where birds can nest safely. Among the birds you can encounter are Belorepan, Vodomar, Grogotovac, Plovka kašikara, Šarena utva, Krdža, Ćubasta patka, Riđoglava patka, Patka dupljašica, Krivokljuni sprudnik, Polojka and Eja močvarica.
