Description

The Zschornaer Teichgebiet is a nature reserve of 314.74 ha near the village of Zschorna. The area includes the two bodies of water Großteich Zschorna and Breiter Teich as well as the adjacent shore areas. The nature reserve is important for waterfowl. Also considerable accumulations of swallows and swifts in the late summer. From spring until autumn good chances of observing Ždral. During autumn migration the site attracts many species of waders such as Velika carska šljuka, Krivokljuni sprudnik, Sprudnik migavac, Crvenonogi sprudnik, Sprudnik ubojica, Crnotrba sprutka and Barska šljuka. In winter the area is a resting place for Nordic geese, Mali ronac, Patka dupljašica and Veliki ronac. Sometimes rarities are spotted, like for example Gavka, Kratkorepi pomornik, Crnogruda sprutka, Pljosnokljuna sprutka and Ušati gnjurac.
