Description
Särkkäniemi Nature Reserve is a great spot for seeing waterfowl all around the year. Labud grbac family can be seen around the area on a daily basis and Veliki ronac and Gluvara are common sightings as well. Patka dupljašica , Srednji ronac , Ćubasta patka , Ćubasti gnjurac , Belolika guska , Veliki labud , Plovka kašikara and Gavka are common birds especially during the warmer months. Siva čaplja likes to stop by the rocky points of the shore and Veliki vranac often dries its wings by the point too.
During shorebird migration season it's possible to see birds like Crnotrba sprutka forage for food in small groups by the rocky shores. The calls of Sprudnik migavac , Ostrigar and Polojka are familiar sounds in the area during summer too. The lagoon bays provide shelter to shore birds and ducklings and are also great places to spot frogs in spring time. Brezov zviždak , Kraljić , Obični zviždak , Zeba , Zelentarka , Šumski zviždak , Crvendać and sometimes Mala muharica can be heard singing in the coastal meadow areas. During autumn migration some birders have heard the sounds of Brkata senica among the reeds too. The views to the sea open the possibility to see even wider variety of birds flying by from the more common Obična čigra , Arktička čigra , Sivi galeb and Obični galeb to Velika čigra and Belorepan. It's also possible to come across roe deer, grass snakes and lizards in the area.

NoExtra info
Rain and the raising of the water level can sometimes make parts of the paths muddy and slippery. The area's duckboards can also float if the water level is high so it's good to pay attention to one's feet when visiting and wear shoes suitable for muddy areas if it has been raining recently.
