Beschreibung
At the Hagenburger canal you can see many ducks in winter and autumn. Especially at the point where the canal floats into the Steinhuder Meer. Among the ducks you can expect are Schnatterente, Löffelente, Pfeifente, Stockente, Spießente, Tafelente, Moorente and Reiherente. In spring you can find warblers like Rohrschwirl, Schlagschwirl, Drosselrohrsänger, Sumpfrohrsänger and Teichrohrsänger. And this is also one of the best spots for Eisvogel. You can find many songbirds like Erlenzeisig, Singdrossel, Trauerschnäpper, Blaukehlchen and Rohrammer.
At the mouth of the canal you can find especially in May some other waterbirds like Trauerseeschwalbe, Flußseeschwalbe and with some luck rarities like Brandseeschwalbe ,Raubseeschwalbe or Weißbart-Seeschwalbe.
