Description
The Langwieser See is a small lake. The lake itself isn't very good for birding, but sometimes you can spot ledňáček říční there. In the reed area about 100 meters east of the lake, in winter you can see for example strnad rákosní and sometimes also Chřástal vodní. In summer it's full of rákosník obecný. West to the lake, there are nice water reservoirs, which in winter often contain slučka malá (best to spot with a thermal imaging camera), and sometimes bekasina otavní.
South to the reservoirs, there is a smal bush land with strnad obecný, stehlík obecný and in winter often pěnkava jikavec. In the gardens and trees along the small stream you can find čížek lesní in winter and rehek zahradní and pěnice hnědokřídlá in summer. Sometimes you can also hear a slavík obecný here.
Very good are the fields around the whole area. During migration you can see linduška luční, rákosník zpěvný, bramborníček černohlavý (sometimes also staying over winter), jestřáb lesní, bělořit šedý, konipas luční, pěnice pokřovní and rarely krutihlav obecný, čejka chocholatá and moták pilich. All year round you will find konopka obecná, skřivan polní, volavka popelavá and poštolka obecná. Sometimes you can also see koroptev polní, krahujec obecný or sokol stěhovavý.
