Description
There are several ponds here where many waterfowl can be seen, including kopřivka obecná, hvízdák eurasijský, čírka obecná, lžičák pestrý, polák velký, hohol severní and several others. During autumn migration several different geese can be found here, and sometimes jeřáb popelavý as well. potápka rudokrká, potápka roháč, and potápka malá can often be seen here, and there is a tree in the Inselteich where kormorán velký and volavka popelavá can often be seen sunning themselves. There are four observation towers which provide a clearer view over the lakes.
The ponds are surrounded by considerable reedbeds, which provide a home for cvrčilka slavíková and rákosník obecný .
The bushes, trees and fields that make up the rest of the area are great for general birding all year round; ťuhýk obecný and many small passerines are always present.
The Karower Teiche are the southern-most part of the larger protected landscape that includes the Moorlinse Buch and Bogenseekette/Lietzengraben areas. This whole territiory combined makes for the richest birding experience within the greater Berlin area.
