Description
The Kleine Lagune Dossenheim may not be very big, but it is all the more special for that. A beaver dam has dammed the stream that flows here, creating a body of water with mud flats. In addition to birds, many amphibians can also be observed here.
Of particular interest from an ornithological perspective are the waders that rest here during migration, such as the Common Greenshank, Green Sandpiper and Wood Sandpiper. However, the Little Ringed Plover, Common Redshank, Northern Lapwing and other waders are also regularly observed. Of course, the Great Egret and Grey Heron can also be seen here. More rarely, a Purple Heron also wanders here.
In the wet meadows, Whinchat or European Stonechat can also be seen from time to time.
