Description

The Ruppersdorfer See is especially good for ducks, geese and herons throughout the year. It´s one of the best breeding sites for Черношейная поганка with sometimes up to 25 pairs. Each day Орлан-белохвост turn up and Серый журавль overnight especially in autumn in good numbers. Different management is needed for waders so the place is only good for them when the water level is low. You should visit the site in the morning as the light conditions are poor later.
