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 břehule říční, which can create their nesting burrows here. Among the birds you can encounter are potápka roháč, potápka malá, kopřivka obecná, kulík říční, čejka chocholatá, slučka malá, bekasina otavní, kormorán velký, luňák červený, skřivan polní, pěnice hnědokřídlá, slavík obecný, konipas luční and strnad obecný.
