Description
The lake Sörfjärden that is part of the bay of Lake Mälaren has big areas of reed beds. If you are lucky, you will see or hear Brkata senica, Veliki trstenjak or Vodeni bik from the bird tower. A characteristic bird of the area is Veliki trstenjak but also Obični cvrčić is heard singing in the reeds on a yearly basis. Eja močvarica also breeds here and now there are observations of Velika bela čaplja almost every year. During spring, you can hear Obična kukavica, or see the first Lastavičar foraging over the reeds. Both Belorepan and Ribar are seen passing the bird tower.
If you are looking for water fowl and reed birds, there is always a chance to see something interesting if you stop at this location. Many interesting species have been seen from this bird tower. Opposite from the bird tower, there is an older bird tower that may be worth a visit just to pass through the forest to the tower. There you can hear Crnovrata muharica or other warblers sing during spring. The bird tower is easily accessed (also for disabled persons), and there is a small parking space a few hundred meters from the tower.
