Description
Obszar Dawnej Kopalni Siarki Jeziórko is a vast open area with 19 ponds, several hundred hectares of meadows, reed beds and wetlands in post-mining sinkholes. Over 200 species of birds (115 breeding birds) have been observed here. It is an excellent place to observe the breeding gulls such as Obični galeb, Sinji galeb, Crnoglavi galeb and waders like Crvenonogi sprudnik, Žalar slepić and Velika carska šljuka. Also other water birds and herons can be seen here like Sivi barski petlić, Barski petlić, Barski petlovan, Liska, Prdavac, Čapljica and Vodeni bik.
During spring migration, you can observe flocks of geese (up to several hundred individuals) Divlja guska, Lisasta guska, Guska glogovnjača (tundranska), Mala lisasta guska and Belolika guska, ducks (up to several thousand) Patka njorka, Šiljkan, Prevez, Ćubasta patka and Riđoglava patka, etc.
In late autumn, regular groups of Mali ronac (the largest in the region), as well as Crnogrli morski gnjurac, Riđogrli morski gnjurac and Srednji ronac can be seen. In winter you can regularly observe, among others Poljska eja, Gaćasti mišar and Belorepan. Among the owls observed in this area, Ritska sova and breeding and Utina should be mentioned. It's worth having a telescope with you, but with the binoculars only you can easily see most species.

Access
The easiest way to get to the Jeziórka area is from the Grębów - Tarnobrzeg road. The oldest post-mining ponds are already visible from the road, an asphalt road leads deep into the area (further on, shallow and gravel). You can also enter or walk from the side of Wydrza on a gravel road (turn after the Primary School in Wydrza).
A very convenient means of transportation is by bike, but you might as well get there by car or hitchhike and just walk around the whole area.
