Beskrivning
The Bank of Major Gavrilovic, colloquially called Dorcolski kej (Dorcol Quay), is possibly the best winter wildfowling spot in the city.
Highlight species: storskrake, småskrake, salskrake, rödhuvad dykand, bergand, svärta, smålom and storlom. These days (winter 2025) look out for the gråhakedopping, svarthakedopping, alfågel, plus American ringand. There is a breeding pair of havsörn at the Veliko Ratno Island and they can be seen year-round, but the best chances are in winter, when they hunt ducks around the island. Also, about 4000 dvärgskarv overwinter in the city in recent years (down from 7000 15 years ago).
In late February and March, the only duck species that does not overwinter here is heading back – the årta. By the end of March, svart stork are back (they will be noticeable on autumn migration in late September and October, too), as well as natthäger. In March and November Trana are a possibility.

NejExtra information
Beside a few small flocks by the bank, most of the birds will be in shallows by the Veliko Ratno Island, some 400+ metres away, which calls for a scope.
No need to hurry in the morning because there is often mist hanging above the water. It happened to me that there wasn't even a trace of fog in the city, so I went down to the river - which then I couldn't see at all, not to mention the birds. There is always some breeze over the river, which is very unpleasant in winter - don't forget a warm hat and gloves.
