Description
The Neolith Teich belongs to the Middle Elbe Biosphere Reserve and is about 107 hectares in size. The banks of the pond, which is actually more of a small lake, are overgrown with reeds and therefore offer many hiding places for birds. And the meadows next to the pond are perfect for feeding. Poplar and pine forests, shrubs and grassland complete the picture. Especially in the period from September to December it is worth a visit. During this time, more than 30,000 husa běločelá and husta tundrová stay in the area. Sometimes there are also rarer guests among them, like husa krátkozobá, husa malá, berneška bělolící, berneška tmavá or berneška rudokrká. The area is also rich in ducks. You can see the more common ducks, but also sometimes zrzohlávka rudozobá, ostralka štíhlá, polák kaholka, hvízdák eurasijský and polák malý. Of the total of 85 bird species recorded at Neolith Teich, about 23 are also breeding birds. Among them are ducks like kopřivka obecná, lžičák pestrý, čírka modrá, polák velký, but also potápka malá, potápka rudokrká, bukač velký, bukáček malý, rákosník proužkovaný, rákosník obecný, rákosník velký, moudivláček lužní and moták pochop. Sometimes orel mořský is seen around the lake.
