Descripción
The Bucher Landgraben in the north of Nuremberg, near the airport, is a renaturalized wetland area of particular importance for species and bird conservation. Along the small stream that runs through open meadows, reed beds, willow bushes, and swamp forest areas, habitat has been specifically restored in recent years to promote ecological diversity. This near-natural design offers ideal conditions for numerous bird species – both for breeding and as a resting place during migration.
The area is particularly valuable for meadow and wetland breeders as well as for migratory birds that rest here during the transition periods. Typical breeding birds include the Escribano Palustre, Escribano Cerillo, Carricerín Común, Carricero Común, Alondra Común, and Alcaudón Dorsirrojo. Bisbita Pratense, Bisbita Arbóreo, and occasionally Avefría Europea have also been observed here. Curruca Capirotada, Chochín Común, Pico Picapinos, and Zorzal Común live in the woods along the ditch. During the migration season, Tarabilla Norteña, Collalba Gris, and even Agachadiza común can be seen regularly. Halcón Peregrino and Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental also use the area to search for food.
The Bucher Landgraben is a rather quiet, little-frequented area, which makes it particularly attractive for shy species. For birdwatchers, it offers a rare combination of renaturalized cultural landscape, wetland biotopes, and a quiet location. A real insider tip in the Nuremberg city area. In the early morning or late afternoon bird activity is at its peak.
Rare bird species that have been observed at the Bucher Landgraben include Agachadiza común, Tarabilla Norteña, Buscarla Unicolor, Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental, and occasionally even Polluela Bastarda.
