Description
The river Conie emerges from the Beauce phreatic table and thus the site's interest varies from year to year depending on water level. Surrounding fields are excellent for ležiak úhorový and the common suite of cropland species include penica obyčajná, kuvik obyčajný and strakoš obyčajný. If the river has water, waders can occur both in the river bed itself and in water patches in surrounding fields. Herons (incl. volavka purpurová), trsteniarik bahenný and svrčiak zelenkavý breed if water level is sufficient. kršiak rybár, bocian čierny and other migrants may occur, mostly in spring migration. kulík vrchovský is a rare but regular (yearly) passage migrant in large fields surrounding the valley. In winter, myšiarka močiarna may roost in wastelands around and large parties of cibík chochlatý and kulík zlatý gather especially under cold weather.
