For birding the area west of the lake and the river Leine is interesting as it is kind of natural floodplain forest. In the southeast there is the pond Vierthaler Teich (2), which is a good spot for exotic waterfowl like Brautente and Mandarinente as well as Eisvogel. During migration it is worth to check the southern shore for Flußregenpfeifer and Austernfischer but one should keep in mind that the area belongs to a private swimming club.
