Beskrivning

For several days in the Deliblato Sands Nature Reserve, the best base choice would be the Kaštel Marijeta (Mariette) Guest House in the Šušara Village (100 min from Belgrade), in and around the village offering turturduva , nattskärra , dvärguv , Härfågel , biätare , spillkråka , sommargylling , törnskata , svartpannad törnskata , trädlärka , tofslärka , Rostgumpsvala , höksångare , sydnäktergal , svart rödstjärt , fältpiplärka , stenknäck , svarthuvad sparv , ortolansparv and, in winter, bergfink , dubbeltrast , and rödvingetrast. Generally, the best birding is in ecotones where forest meets grassland, and wherever there is any source of water (usually a watering hole for numerous sheep).

Behind the village are planted forests of Locust Tree, Austrian Pine and Scots Pine, inhabited by Red Deer, Roe Deer and Wild Boar.

There's not much shade, so wear a hat and carry at least a litre of water per person. You can restock at petrol stations, but do not count on village shops with their erratic opening hours.

Detaljer

Tillgänglighet

Šušara is reachable from Belgrade through Pančevo towards Vršac till Uljma, then right to Izbište, and right again to Šušara (85 km). It is not reachable from Deliblato, as suggested by Google Maps, unless you are driving a Hummer or similar! Zoom in on the map and click on the "P" (parking) sign for driving directions, but be careful how you interpret them.

If driving along some of the local unpaved tracks (99%), be extra careful not to start a wildfire by an overheated exhaust pipe! Also, don’t damage the sensitive steppe vegetation by driving at will: follow only the existing dirt tracks and be careful not to get lost, nor stuck in the sand.

Extra information

Adapted from the media, mostly by Google translate: Northwest of Šušara, "Korn is a steppe area where the 'Orlovac' feeding station was fenced off for protected birds of prey – tatarfalk , kejsarörn [both so rare that they are far from realistic], havsörn and mindre skrikörn – as well as an observation tower erected for visitors.

It is the largest feeding station for raptors in Serbia, dimensions 120x60m, where food is delivered to threatened bird species throughout the year, especially in the period September-March.

The gradual clearing of the site created the largest open area of steppe habitats in the entire Deliblato Sands, where former plant inhabitants such as the peony, are slowly returning, and [ten] years ago we also reintroduced here the European Ground Squirrel, the most important inhabitant of such habitats and an important link in the food chain. Rodents were caught on the pastures of the peripheral part of Deliblatska peščara and moved to these steppe pastures. Today, 400 sheep and 100 goats graze in this area."
