Beschreibung
The Steinhorster Becken is a fairly recent, human-made, nature reserve consisting of a mosaic of habitats, like reedbeds, freshwater ponds with islands and wetlands. The area serves as both resting and foraging for many species of bird.
In winter, the area is great for observing ducks, geese and herons, like Reiherente, Löffelente, Weißwangengans, Bläßgans, Graureiher and Silberreiher. The ponds are also a great place to observe Gänsesäger.
In spring, the area is used by Kranich to rest when migrating northwards to their breeding grounds. Other migrating species that often can be found here are Fischadler, Schwarzstorch and Wanderfalke. The area is also home to many breeding species, like Lachmöwe, Kiebitz, Haubentaucher and Großer Brachvogel. From 2010 on, the area is also home to a breeding pair of Weißstorch.
