Descripción
The south shore of the lake Zeller See harbours a vast moorland amidst a stunning alpine scenery. The WiesenKönigReich wetlands with its lowland moor and wetland meadows give shelter to a variety of plants and animals. Lake Zeller See and the vast wet meadows on its south shore are an important resting place for migratory birds and overwintering bird species. Every year thousands of birds are crossing the Alps on their way to the breeding sites in the north of Europe. A good resting place close to the main Alpine ridge is this reserve on the southern shore of Lake Zeller See. Among the breeding birds are Tarro Blanco, Zampullín Común, Guión de Codornices, Agachadiza común, Tarabilla Norteña, Alondra Común and Lavandera Boyera. Herons and egrets are foraging in the area, a Garza Real colony is found in the vicinity of Bruckberg.
During migration you can see waders like Correlimos Gordo, Correlimos Común and Andarríos Grande and sometimes rarities. Éider común, Silbón Europeo, Ánade rabudo norteño, Porrón Europeo and Serreta Mediana can be observed in winter. Cormorán Grande are migrating through. Especially in winter one can observe larger groups. Other birds that can be seen are Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental, Fumarel Común, Alcaudón Dorsirrojo, Collalba Gris, Papamoscas Cerrojillo, Gorrión Molinero and Trepador Azul.
