Descripción
The Eschefelder Teiche are a nature reserve located 30 km south of Leipzig. The area consists of 8 ponds and covers an area of 270 hectares. The ponds were artificially created in the 18th century for fishing. The largest pond is the pond near Eschefeld. The ponds are an important feeding, breeding and resting area for numerous waterfowl species. The surrounding area is mainly used for agriculture. On the edge of the large pond there is the Naturschutzstation (nature conservation station) Teichhaus. It is run by NABU (BirdLife Germany) and also has a restaurant. On the banks of the large pond on the artificially created dam you can find a bird hide.
The area has a Gaviota Reidora colony on the largest of the 8 lakes. In the noisy colony Zampullín Cuellinegro and Gaviota Cabecinegra also find shelter. The most important breeding birds include Avetoro Común and Avetorillo común, Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental, Carricero Tordal, Pájaro-moscón Europeo, Bigotudo, Ruiseñor Común and Ruiseñor Pechiazul. All these species are best observed between April and early June. Depending on the season ducks like Cerceta Carretona, Pato Colorado, Porrón Osculado, Serreta Grande, Cuchara Común, Tarro Blanco and Ánade rabudo norteño can be seen.
During migration periods, other species arrive. Águila Pescadora and Pigargo Europeo are regular guests who prey on food in the waters. There are also Fumarel Común as well as Gaviota Enana. Another interesting group during migration is resting waders. These include Avefría Europea, Chorlitejo Chico, Chorlitejo Grande, Agachadiza común, Archibebe Claro, Andarríos Chico, Andarríos Bastardo, Archibebe Común and Combatiente. Sometimes rare birds like Correlimos Pectoral, Archibebe Fino and Falaropo Picofino are observed.
