Beschreibung
The Weingartener Moor is an interesting place to visit and can host a good variety of bird species. The varying levels of water throughout the year adds a certain dynamic and an element of surprise. When there are open areas of water, there are good numbers of geese and ducks present. Graugans, Kanadagans, Stockente, Schnatterente, Tafelente, Reiherente, Krickente, Bläßhuhn and Zwergtaucher are all regularly seen here.
Receding water levels and muddy fringes can attract birds such as Bekassine and Waldwasserläufer. In August 2023, a juvenile Steinwälzer was even observed here! The surrounding woodland is home to a good number of species and is a good place to look for Misteldrossel, Mittelspecht and Kleinspecht. If you are lucky, you may see a Baumfalke hunting dragonflies in summer.
