Description
The River Monnow is a scenic area noted for blossoming fruit orchards in spring. On warm mornings up to 50 krokar soar the thermals, with kanja and maybe a skobec. On the river there are siva čaplja, mala bela caplja, siva pastirica, breguljka, hudournik, vodomec, povodni kos and mandarinka. The fruit orchards attract large numbers of wintering brinovka and vinski drozg.
