Description
Teichgebiet Entenschenke is a mixture of lakes of different sizes and of different use. Some are still used for fish breeding, whereas others remain almost natural. This makes it suitable for almost all kinds of water-dependent bird species, ranging from Αγριόκυκνος, over several duck species towards Τσιχλοποταμίδα. It is also a good area for observing Υφάντρα. The bigger lakes can inhabit large numbers of moulting, breeding and resting waterfowl, especially ducks like Γκισάρι, (Ευρωπαϊκή) Σαρσέλα or (Ευρωπαϊκή) Βουκεφάλα. in the reed beds, the (Ευρασιατικός) Ήταυρος can be found as breeding bird. Raptors like (Ευρωπαϊκός) Θαλασσαετός, Ψαραετός and Καλαμόκιρκος are almost guaranteed to see.

Access
Teichgebiet Entenschenke is located north of the town of Königswartha en west of the village of Caminau. Most easy way to get to the area is by bike or car. It is recommended to park somewhere and then explore the area on foot. Press P on the map for directions. The easiest access by public transport is via Caminau, where the Caminau Dorf stop near the Großer Ziegelteich is served by hourly buses from Hoyerswerda and Bautzen.
Due to the large lakes and variety of paths, your tour might get long, especially when carrying a heavy scope or camera. There are no dedicated parking spots (one suitable spot was recently closed, but might open again?), so you have to search for a suitable place next to the road. Be aware, that these ponds are economically used for fish breeding, so please keep all the tracks towards the lakes free for heavy machines!
