Beschreibung
The plain between Langau and Wolfsbach is one of the best spots in Austria to observe wintering raptors like Raufußbussard or Kornweihe. It is also one of very few places, where Steppenweihe has been observed more regularly. Seeadler breeds in the vicinity. Rare visitors on passage, like Schreiadler , Adlerbussard, Würgfalke or Mornellregenpfeifer can be observed with luck. During migration season it's a stopover site for huge flocks of Kiebitz and Goldregenpfeifer and some Großer Brachvogel. But also passerines like Braunkehlchen or Steinschmätzer. A small flood retention pond often attracts different waterbirds. The site is quite under-birded and therefore could provide surprises in the future (like Steppenkiebitz, Falkenraubmöwe and others).
Details
Zugang
The site can be explored by bike or car, as there are many dirt roads and some paved roads across the plain. Birding should be done from the roads (except the main road crossing the plain) because all the surrounding fields are private agricultural land. If you stay near the car, parking on most of the roads is no problem. If you leave a car, only park it in places where you don't block access to the fields.
