Description

Vinča Pond lies beyond the eastern suburbs of Belgrade, between the Belgrade city's main landfill and the Danube River. The pond is the part of IBA area 'Ušće Save u Dunav'.

Numerous waterfowl find the Vinča Pond an attractive wintering destination. Hundreds of Yeşilbaş, Boz ördek, Çamurcun, Fiyu, and Kaşıkgaga are coming to the pond in winter. With waterfowl, also come the birds of prey, like Saz delicesi, Akkuyruklu kartal, and Büyük orman kartalı. The hilly slopes of Vinča and the sandy terrain south of the pond attract numerous Şahin.

There is also a gull-watching point on the Danube riverbank near the sandy terrain southeast of the pond. Check Vinča - Belo Brdo birding place for the gull species found there.
