The Vrana Lake area is home to a large number of birds, and during the summer their population can reach up to 100,000 individuals. Out of a total of 251 bird species that live in the reserve or appear there periodically throughout the year, about 87 species can be found during the winter months. During migration periods, especially in summer and autumn, more than 140 species of birds temporarily stay at the lake.
There are even 13 species whose populations in this area are significant not only for their survival in Croatia, but also on a European and international level.
All of this makes Vrana Lake an ideal location for bird watching. Birds can be observed around the lake, and for a better viewing experience there are designated observation points along the trails, which are part of the ornithological reserve.
