Description

In a loop of the river Moselle in the far northeast of Trier lies the Kenner Flur. Birds can be observed in the lakes created by gravel mining, in the adjoining patches of forest and in the surrounding open fields. The shores of the quarry ponds are steep and ideal for brehuľa hnedá, which can create their nesting burrows here. Among the birds you can encounter are potápka chochlatá, potápka malá, kačica chripľavka, kulík riečný, cibík chochlatý, močiarnička tichá, močiarnica mekotavá, kormorán veľký, haja červená, škovránok poľný, penica obyčajná, slávik obyčajný, trasochvost žltý and strnádka obyčajná.
