Description

The nature reserve of Rümlandteich und Methorstteich is a beautiful area to observe water and forest bird species. You can make larger and smaller walks via hiking trails. Both ponds are drained temporarily (especially in autumn/winter) and then offer particularly interesting observation opportunities (wading birds, wintering Bjergpiber). Havørn breed here and can be observed regularly. Rørdrum occasionally call in the reed belt of the Rümlandteich. In the adjacent forest areas, all species of woodpecker are found ( Sortspætte, Grønspætte, Stor Flagspætte, Mellemflagspætte and Lille Flagspætte), as well as Stor hornugle, Lærkefalk, Hvepsevåge, Broget fluesnapper and, in some years, Lille Fluesnapper. In the winter months, many Sangsvane often stay here during the day. Both bodies of water are also home to 200 Sangsvane and Pibesvane and up to 800 Blisgås and Tundrasædgås. In the adjacent grassland you can observe Stor Tornskade, Blå Kærhøg and many geese in winter.
