Beschreibung
The Divor reservoir and its surroundings are great for bird watching. Much of the area is underexplored. The main observation point on the north side is the dam, which allows observing the waters of the reservoir. But as this dam is quite busy with sportsmen and fishermen, the disturbance can be high, so the number of birds present is not always high. So it is also good to explore the other side of the reservoir. On the lake and around the margins you can see ducks, grebes, Rosaflamingo, herons and waders lake Flußuferläufer and Grünschenkel.
In the surrounding areas many birds can be seen. For example Zaunammer, Grauammer, Häherkuckuck, Bienenfresser, Wiedehopf, Iberienraubwürger, Theklalerche, Haubenlerche, Feldlerche, Zistensänger, Orpheusspötter and Samtkopf-Grasmücke. Also many birds of prey can be seen flying over the area. In summer you have a good chance on Schwarzmilan, Zwergadler and Gänsegeier. In winter Kornweihe, Rotmilan and Gleitaar. All year round you can see Mäusebussard, Rohrweihe and Turmfalke. Wiesenweihe can bee seen mostly in August.
