Beschreibung
About 150 species have so far been recorded in this tiny nature reserve. Bir länge Stude is part of the Grosses Moos in the north of Lake Neuchâtel. It consists of a south-facing slope with semi-dry meadows (1), richly structured hedges (2) and a restored gravel pit (3). At the foot of the slope, some ponds have been created for amphibians (4); a small, ecologically managed vineyard (5) is cultivated here on a voluntary basis.
The typical birds of these habitats, which have become rare elsewhere, include Dorngrasmücke, Nachtigall, Neuntöter, Braunkehlchen, Gartenrotschwanz and Schwarzkehlchen. The orchard trees provide food for Wendehals. Especially in the tree groups lower down (6) you’ll find Turteltaube and Pirol. One of the main target species of conservation efforts here is the Grauammer, which has one of its last refuges in Switzerland in the Grosses Moos. Somewhat less frequently, Feldschwirl, Klappergrasmücke and Wachtel are also seen. Noteworthy too is the large colony of Uferschwalbe in the restored gravel pit. From there, the call of the Bienenfresser has been heard repeatedly - so far probably only from migrating individuals.
During spring migration, rare relatives of the habitat’s typical resident species turn up again and again: Kurzzehenlerche, Ortolan, Rosenstar, and most recently a Rotkopfwürger have been sighted. Sumpfohreule and Rotfußfalke have also already stopped over in the area.
