Description
The Rusen ponds cover a large area of reedbeds, open and closed ponds and Salix bushes and trees. In the main pond (nr 1) a colony of Obični galeb also harbouring Crna čigra , along with them Belobrka čigra, Belokrila čigra and Velika čigra can be seen.
Also living in the ponds Mali gnjurac and Crnovrati gnjurac together with a good variety of ducks such as Plovka kašikara and Grogotovac. From the reedbeds Vodeni bik, Obični cvrčić and Veliki trstenjak can be heard together with Brkata senica and Senica vuga.
You move through the area on top of the banks and there are a good number of roads to explore the site.
I only visited the site in late May so please feel free to add further information. Write in the comment section below and I'll add it to the post.
