Descripción

The Northern part of The Grunewald can be broken down into 3 smaller interesting birding areas:

1 The Drachenberg, just like the nearby Teufelsberg the Drachenberg was created by piling up all the rubble of Berlin after WWII, and is now covered in vegetation. Due to its flat top It provides an excelent platform to view the forest and Berlin. Especially the South eastern slope of the Drachenberg, facing the Teufelsberg, is interesting for birding. It is covered in small bushes and wildflowers and in summer home to many insects and birds. There are Alcaudón Dorsirrojo , Escribano Cerillo andCernícalo vulgar here as well as the more common forest birds.

2 The Sandgrube is an old quarry turned into a protected area. It is about 25 meter deep and has some permanent water (little lake at the bottom) with reedbeds and in summer there are many different plants, butterflies and all sorts of insects. Due to its mixed habitat of sand, grass, flowers, forest, swamp, and reedbeds you can find many different species here, like Carricero Tordal, Escribano Cerillo, Alcaudón Dorsirrojo, Pardillo Norteño, Ruiseñor Común, Tarabilla Norteña, Cuervo Grande and Curruca Zarcera.

3 Teufelsee and adjacant Ökowerk Naturschutzzentrum. The latter also organizes birding tours with guide for very low prices. The compound of the Ökowerk is home to breeding Colirrojo Tizón and Colirrojo Real. The Teufelsee is also frequently visited in winter by a Pato Joyuyo. In summer the Teufelsee and adjacant field is used for nudist recreation so maybe not the best time to walk around with a binoculars or camera.

In the forest in between these 3 areas one can find all 3 species of spotted woodpeckers, as well as the Picamaderos Negro. Also flycatchers, Carbonero Garrapinos, Herrerillo Capuchino, Carbonero Palustre, Azor Común and Busardo ratonero.
