Description
Zalew Szałe is a good place to observe migrating ducks, such as Свищ євразійський, Шилохвіст and Чирянка мала. On the reservoir itself, you can spot many species of gulls, divers, and grebes, such as Гагара чорношия, Мартин жовтоногий and Мартин сивий, which breeds here. Rarities such as Савка білоголова, Грицик малий and Мартин полярний have appeared on the reservoir.
Szałe isn't just a reservoir, it encompasses everything surrounding it. In the surrounding Winiary forest, you can spot interesting species like Жовна чорна, Жайворонок лісовий and Підкоришник звичайний. Ластівка берегова and gulls nest readily on the slopes near the reservoir, and in the local fields, you can observe Чайка чубата and Крутиголовка звичайна. I hope I've encouraged you to observe this incredibly important place for the region. See you at Szałe.
