Beschreibung
A very easy to get to wetland/wooded area containing several pools and wooded areas. Very good for a wide variety of birds such as Schleiereule, Sumpfohreule, Mäusebussard, Mauersegler, Kormoran, Zwergtaucher, Haubentaucher, Sperber, Graugans as well as a great spot for migrants. If you are lucky, you might even see a Roe Deer or two, and there is also interesting archaeological site too.
Spring and summer see breeding waders flock to the reserve in huge numbers. Kiebitz , Rotschenkel , Alpenstrandläufer and Austernfischer jostle for position with herons and egrets. Sometimes Flußregenpfeifer and Säbelschnäbler breed at Lunt Meadows. Other sightings have included everything from Krickente , Kampfläufer to Bekassine and Uferschnepfe.
