Description

Zawadowskie Islands Reserve is a conservation reserve that consists of islands and shoals located on the Vistula River in Warsaw. This reserve is breeding place for terns (Крячок малий, Крячок річковий), plovers and gulls, with some luck you can also observe mammals such as beavers or wild boars. During spring or autumn migration it is a good place for wading birds (i.e. Побережник чорногрудий , Брижач , Побережник білохвостий , Побережник малий , Баранець звичайний , Кулик-сорока ), ducks or birds of prey (one of the best places to see Скопа in Warsaw) . The adjacent riparian forest is a good place for woodpeckers, tits and trushes.
