In the rural areas and meadows breed Сорокопуд терновий, Кобилочка-цвіркун, Очеретянка чагарникова, Кропив’янка сіра, Соловейко західний, Жайворонок польовий and many others.

During the spring migration you can see birds such as Трав’янка лучна, Трав'янка чорноголова, Чирянка велика, Крячок чорний and many other species of waterfowl. In last years Журавель сірий is a regular guest here, especially in spring time. In late summer and autumn there is little water, which is suitable for Баранець звичайний, Чайка чубата, Коловодник болотяний and other waders. In winter Сірий (Великий) сорокопуд is a regular visitor.

Many birds come to spend a night in the reedbed, especially in the end of summer. It is the best place in the area where to watch Шпак звичайний murmuration (thousands of birds). You can also see Ластівка сільська and Жовта плиска.
