Beschreibung
The small river Selz has been renaturalised at this reserve. Along with an area of flooded marshes, reedbeds, ponds, grassland and scattered riverine woodland, some regionally scarce breeders are present and over the years a wide variety of passage and winter birds have been recorded. Over 200 species are now on the reserve list. A concerted effort in Spring on a good day can produce 70 species at the reserve and along the river.
The main attraction for most will be spring and summer reedbed visitors, such as Blaukehlchen, Rohrschwirl and Rohrweihe. Drosselrohrsänger has become more regular and Bartmeise appears to have recently colonised. Beutelmeise has bred but nowadays has generally reduced to being a scarce migrant. There is a Graureiher colony and scarcer relatives such as Nachtreiher, Seidenreiher, Zwergdommel, Purpurreiher and Rohrdommel have all been recorded in recent years, some regularly.
Passage waders can be found on the pools or flooded grasslands, but this is heavily dependent on weather and water level conditions. More regular are Waldwasserläufer, Bruchwasserläufer, Rotschenkel Grünschenkel, Alpenstrandläufer, Kampfläufer and Dunkler Wasserläufer but local scarcities such as Uferschnepfe, Regenbrachvogel, Sichelstrandläufer, Temminckstrandläufer and even Thorshühnchen have all been recorded.
Kranich , Weißstorch and Schwarzstorch are regular visitors. The woodlands hold good numbers of Nachtigall and Pirol. Mittelspecht has recently colonised the area. Steinkauz and Waldohreule breed, as does Baumfalke, Rotmilan and Schwarzmilan.
Wildfowl numbers build up modestly in Spring and Autumn with Krickente being the most easily encountered. Visibility can be a challenge with reeds obscuring the pools, so try using a scope from higher ground. In most winters, singles or low numbers of wild geese are recorded among the resident groups of Graugans, the most regular being Bläßgans. Bergpieper is regular on passage and sometimes winter.

Zugang
Limited free parking is available at a couple of small paved areas next to the L432 between Hahnheim and Sörgenloch. This road is also on a bus-route (652) with the nearest bus-stop at Wahlheimer Hof to the east of the reserve, or alternatively at Sörgenloch to the west. A path, paved only on most of the southern side, circumvents the pools, grassland, and reedbeds. Cycling the southern edge is possible, but other stretches are higher grass or muddy depending on conditions.
