Description

The Weingartener Moor is an interesting place to visit and can host a good variety of bird species. The varying levels of water throughout the year adds a certain dynamic and an element of surprise. When there are open areas of water, there are good numbers of geese and ducks present. husa velká, berneška velká, kachna divoká, kopřivka obecná, polák velký, polák chocholačka, čírka obecná, lyska černá and potápka malá are all regularly seen here.

Receding water levels and muddy fringes can attract birds such as bekasina otavní and vodouš kropenatý. In August 2023, a juvenile kamenáček pestrý was even observed here! The surrounding woodland is home to a good number of species and is a good place to look for drozd brávník, strakapoud prostřední and strakapoud malý. If you are lucky, you may see a ostříž lesní hunting dragonflies in summer.
