Description
The Kirchwerder Wiesen nature reserve has pastureland, ditches, copses and trees which form a richly structured marsh landscape with habitat for many species. Reeds, bushes and trees provide cover and perching for animals without significantly obstructing the view of the wide landscape. In denser vegetation, including taller trees, species such as Common Nightingale, Golden Oriole and Greater Whitethroat can be found.
In the open country, Western Marsh Harrier, European Stonechat, Eurasian Skylark, Northern Lapwing, Yellowhammer and Common Snipe can be found. Formerly a breeding species, Black Tern can now only be found with luck sometimes. Red-backed Shrike have successfully nested in the area. Bluethroat, Reed Bunting , Sedge Warbler and Reed Warbler sing from the reeds. On and near the irrigation ditches you can find various species of ducks, Mute Swan , Greylag Goose and Canada Goose. In addition, there are mammals such as common weasel and nutria.
