Description

The lookout from the Moorochse tower is ideal in the morning, as from midday onwards there is backlighting and therefore reflections in the water. Common Kingfisher regularly hunt here and the large number of Great Cormorant make them a popular hunting target for White-tailed Eagle. Other birds you can encounter are Common Crane, Gadwall, White Wagtail, Great Egret, Mallard, Water Rail, Eurasian Moorhen, Mute Swan and Little Grebe.
