In the Commune Urszulin in the Lublin Region one may find as many as 235 bird species. Among them there are many unique and rare representatives of avifauna, for instance, the ferruginous duck which is entered into Polish Red Book of Animals [Polska czerwona księga zwierząt], i.e. a list of most endangered species in Poland. The ponds in Stary Brus, Pieszowola in the Polesie National Park as well as Lake Wytyckie belong to the most important breeding areas of the ferruginous duck in the country. The great grey owl, on the other hand, is an unusual species as it is one of the biggest owls in the world. The number of its population in Poland amounts to barely 8 pairs. At present this species may be observed in the vicinity of the Durne Marsh in the Polesie National Park. Moreover, the greater spotted eagle is the rarest and the lesser spotted eagle is the most numerous breeding eagle in Poland. These eagles may be observed on the Krowie Marsh and in the Polesie National Park. The real ornithological gem of this region is the aquatic warbler – inconspicuous bird which has its main global habitat on the vast marshes of Polesie.
