Beschreibung
Old Laxenburg Castle became a Habsburg possession in 1333. After 1780, the castle garden was rearranged as an English landscape garden. It contains an artificial pond with several partly not accessible islands. One island accommodates a huge colony of Graureiher .
There are a lot of old trees and several species of woodpecker can easily be found. Most resident species have short flight distances. Common are Mittelspecht, Buntspecht, Grünspecht, Schwarzspecht and Kleinspecht . But also Grauspecht occurs and even Blutspecht and Weißrückenspecht were allready observed. Along with all those woodpeckers comes a variety of cavity-nesting birds as for instance Tits and Star. In two groups of old plane trees exist quite sizeable breeding-colonies of Dohle. Other regularly occuring species during breeding season are Kuckuck, Hohltaube and Pirol.
Year round Gänsesäger, Graureiher, Kormoran andEisvogel can be observed.
During winter the park gives home to Silberreiher, Reiherente, Waldohreule and a lot of singing birds such as different species of thrushes or finches.
