Description

Niezgoda Ponds are located in the village of Niezgoda. On the shore of one of the ponds, about 300 meter from the parking place, a comfortable hide has been set up. There are bird species typical for the region which can be observed, but you can also see birds that are less common for Poland, especially during migration and in winter, like: Pasbaş Patka Macar ördeği, Suna, Nil kazi, Karabaş patka, Kara ördek and Telkuyruk.

Access

Niezgoda Ponds are a short distance away from the expressway (S11) connecting Poznań with Wrocław (exit at Żmigród). Access to the parkingplace is very convenient, and the parkingplace itself is literally a step away from the ponds. There are two ways for birdwatching at this site. First - just use the hide (also accessible for the disabled). The second option is a walk around the ponds - about 6 km, which can be extended by visit at the Stary Staw (Old Pond ) - also described on the Birdingplaces website.

The pond is a fish breeding area - it may happen that the path drawn around the pond may not be accessible. In such a situation, it is possible to use the lookout room.
