Description
The Landschaftspark Hachinger Tal is a 150 hectares area in the south of Munich that is part of the Munich gravel plain. It contains the rest of a heath area and was used as a military airfield from 1933 to 1997, with the runway still existing. From March on, you hear the sound of singing Eurasian Skylark from the meadows, in May/June also sometimes Common Quail. There are protected areas for meadow breeders, see local signs. In spring there are birdsongs from Yellowhammer and Dunnock in the bushes, while in May/June you find Red-backed Shrike and singing Garden Warbler, Icterine Warbler and Marsh Warbler.
During spring and autumn migration good chances of European Stonechat, Whinchat, Northern Wheatear or Pied Flycatcher, with luck also rare migrants like Eurasian Hoopoe or Tawny Pipit. In winter especially the little stream (Hachinger Bach) can be interesting, with Common Kingfisher, Grey Wagtail and sometimes Common Snipe or Jack Snipe. From time to time several rarities have been observed in the park, like Short-eared Owl, Lesser Grey Shrike and Subalpine Warbler.
