The water is very shallow in the northen part of the pond, and almost disappears during the hot summer weeks. Mainly waterfowl and waders to be found here. The Kuyrukkakan can be found hunting on the boulder mounds and abbandoned machinery. Other birds that can be observed include Uzunbacak, Kılıçgaga and Su çulluğu.

Access
The quarry pond is located just outside Moresti village. Two ways coming from Tirgu Mures: a) Access from Ungheni via 125 road, once over the bridge first street to the left and all the way to the end. No designated parking. b) Access from Ungheni via 125 road, turn left before the bridge and follow the winding dirt road to the quarry bridge. Last time I checked the access through it was being blocked. Park along the river. From here you can explore the area on foot. Allow yourself two hours if you circle the pond (4 km).
