Description
The nature reserve of Rümlandteich und Methorstteich is a beautiful area to observe water and forest bird species. You can make larger and smaller walks via hiking trails. Both ponds are drained temporarily (especially in autumn/winter) and then offer particularly interesting observation opportunities (wading birds, wintering Water Pipit). White-tailed Eagle breed here and can be observed regularly. Great Bittern occasionally call in the reed belt of the Rümlandteich. In the adjacent forest areas, all species of woodpecker are found ( Black Woodpecker, Eurasian Green Woodpecker, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Middle Spotted Woodpecker and Lesser Spotted Woodpecker), as well as Eagle Owl, Eurasian Hobby, European Honey-buzzard, Pied Flycatcher and, in some years, Red-breasted Flycatcher. In the winter months, many Whooper Swan often stay here during the day. Both bodies of water are also home to 200 Whooper Swan and Bewick's Swan and up to 800 Greater White-fronted Goose and Tundra Bean Goose. In the adjacent grassland you can observe Great Grey Shrike, Hen Harrier and many geese in winter.
