Delta Swiny
Delta Swiny is a dynamic, constantly developing system of land and water geomorphologic forms, connected with an estuary of large, lowland Odra river to the Baltic. Communities of halophilic vegetation have been preserved here. Particular value of the refuge is connected with occurrence of a small, inconspicuous passerine bird - the aquatic warbler. The whole world population of this species probably reaches not more than 20 000 males. The second biggest population of the species is located in Poland . Main places of its occurrence are: Dolina Biebrzy i Narwia (the Biebrza and the Narwia Valley), Lubelszczyzna (the Land of Lublin) and Pomorze Zachodnie (the Western Pomerania) with Delta Swiny. The westernmost aquatic warbler population lies in the Swina River Estuary. Delta Swiny is the Special Protection Area. more »
