Beschreibung
The lake of Plobsheim is a large basin that was build to regulate the water of the river Ill. There are shallow waters in the south and deeper waters in the north where the basin is conected to the river Rhine.
In migrating times the south is a good place to watch waders like Rotschenkel , Dunkler Wasserläufer , Grünschenkel , Zwergstrandläufer and Alpenstrandläufer . Other migrating species are Flußseeschwalbe, Raubseeschwalbe and Fischadler . There is a chance to see rarer species like Weißbart-Seeschwalbe , Weißflügel-Seeschwalbe and Seidenreiher hunting for fish. In spring and summer the northern part of the area is rather uninteresting for watching birds. That changes in autumn and especially in winter.
Almost the whole year but especially in winter the area is one of the best places in the Upper Rhine region to watch all sorts of ducks, grebes and divers. Even rarer species like Eistaucher , Moorente and Mittelsäger can be found here. For divers the north of the area is a good place to have a look in winter. It can be worth it to look a the gulls more closely. Sometimes there are Zwergmöwe , Schwarzkopfmöwe and Steppenmöwe between the Mittelmeermöwe and Lachmöwe .
In the forest near by you can see Pirol and Trauerschnäpper in summer and all sorts of woodpeckers.
