Description
The Günther-Klotz-Anlage is a great place for casual birding, especially for families or those new to the hobby. There is always something to see up close and a good range of birds.
Numerous paths through the park and along the river make the park very accessible and the birds are used to people. There is usually a good mix of waterbirds on the ponds: Rørhøne, Blishøne, Gråand, Nilgås, Knopsvane, Fiskehejre and Skarv are nearly always present and there is a good chance of seeing Isfugl or Mandarin-and. The mix of trees and bushes in the park provide a good habitat for numerous songbirds: Stær, Gråspurv, Stillits, Bogfinke, Musvit, Blåmejse, Stor Flagspætte and Mellemflagspætte can all be seen or heard throughout the year.
The paths along the river are particularly good for songbirds in summer. In addition to the birds mentioned above, Sumpmejse, Halemejse, Gærdesmutte, Rødhals and Bjergvipstjert can often be heard or spotted. At the right time of the year, it's also possible to see and hear both Grå Fluesnapper and Broget fluesnapper.
During the winter months, flocks of Grønsisken and the odd Sjagger can often be seen feeding throughout the park. At dusk, large gatherings of Sortkrage are an additional (noisy) winter attraction.
It's always worth checking the sky for any circling or soaring raptors, too (Tårnfalk, Musvåge and Rød Glente). If you're lucky, you could well see one of the Vandrefalk that breed on one of the tall buildings nearby.
