Beschreibung
A visit to Dhünntalsperre is particularly worthwhile in winter, as many ducks hibernate on the reservoir. Every year, rarities such as Prachttaucher, Eistaucher, Ohrentaucher, Rothalstaucher and Samtente are reported in winter. A Raubwürger has overwintered on the clear-cut areas in recent years and Kornweihe and Wanderfalke can also be observed in winter.
With a bit of luck, you may see Fischadler on migration. In summer Schwarzstorch, Wespenbussard and Baumfalke are among the area's highlights. The birds that can be observed all year round include Reiherente, Kolkrabe, Wasseramsel, Erlenzeisig and many more. Note that a scope is very helpful to ID the different species, that can be far away on the water body. If you dont want to hike 12 km you can go to the dam and watch birds from there. You can check what species were observed on Ornitho.de, choose NW and then GL to acess the district, where the reservoir is located.
