Beschreibung
The famous world heritage site around the palace of Sanssouci has more to offer than just a view at the beautiful temples, follies and gorgeous interiors. The park was designed in the style of an English landscape garden by Peter Joseph Lenné and has lush forests with old deciduous trees as well as dry grassland and is traversed by a small ditch "Parkgraben" which ends in a small pond "Maschinenteich".
The park is well known for its Mandarinente. More than 200 individuals gather along the Parkgraben in winter. The birds appeared after WWII, as escapes from the Berlin Zoo, and are nowadays self-sustaining and more or less stable as a population.
The old oak trees are perfect spots to see Mittelspecht and the nesting boxes are the home of Trauerschnäpper. Around 10 territories of Sommergoldhähnchen and 2 territories of Waldkauz as well as several Gelbspötter are within the park's boundaries. Five species of woodpecker make use of the old trees in the park.
In Winter you can observe Kernbeißer, Sumpfmeise, Erlenzeisig and Bergfink at the bird feeders in the park. In some years good numbers of Seidenschwanz can be seen feeding in the mistletoes, especially in January. Hundreds of thrushes roam the park in early spring.
Along the Parkgraben you can also see Eisvogel at close ranges. The Maschinenteich holds a territory of that species, as well as a nest of a Höckerschwan.
Rarities in the park have been Wiedehopf, Ringdrossel, Gelbbrauen-Laubsänger and Brautente among the many Mandarinente.
