Description
The BNW pond is located between Nussdorf/Debant and the river Drau. The landscape around the pond is interspersed with hedges and trees. It offers a surprising variety of birds both in spring and autumn, with interesting birds like Black-crowned Night Heron, Red-footed Falcon, Grey-headed Woodpecker and Great Snipe in recent years. More regular birds that can be observed around the pond and in the surrounding area are Golden Oriole, Red-backed Shrike, Sedge Warbler, Marsh Warbler, Common Cuckoo, Common Raven, Blackcap, Common Redstart, Black Redstart, Northern Wheatear, Whinchat and Yellowhammer.
At the beginning of October, the peak of autumn bird migration is reached. Although most of the long-distance migrants have already passed through, in October you can observe many species of finches and, but also some thrush species. Depending on the weather, larger groups – such as Common Wood Pigeon or gulls – are also possible. And where there are birds, their predators – such as Sparrowhawk – are usually not far away.
