Description
The Duvenseer Moor is a broad, quiet moorland shaped by the slow infilling of post‑glacial lakes after the last Ice Age. Over the centuries the lakes silted up, peat accumulated, and by the nineteenth century the area was drained and cut for peat, leaving the lowered, open moorland that survives now. In winter the flooded areas serve as a resting and feeding area for many birds. Birds you can observe include Lisasta Guska, Mali labud, Žutokljuni Labud, Utva, Patka Pupčanica, Patka Lastarka, Kržulja, Glavata Patka, Kukavica, Ždral, Vivak, Veliki Pozviždač, Pršljivac, Šljuka Kokošica, Eja Strnjarica, Eja Močvarica, Štekavac, Sokol Lastavičar, Rusi Svračak, Brkata Sjenica, Trstenjak Rogožar, Slavuj, Zimovka, Čižak and Žuta strnadica.
