Descripción
In the nature reserve Isarauen, the 1100x290m measuring reservoir Ickinger Stausee lies embedded between the 30m wide Isar water channel and the river Isar. At the reservoir there are breeding Somormujo Lavanco and Ánsar común. Pato Mandarín and Carricero Común also appear. Pito Cano and Pico Menor live in the riparian forests. Further breeding birds in the area are Serreta Grande, Mirlo-acuático Europeo and Lavandera Cascadeña.
From the path on the north side of the reservoir there are occasionally narrow paths through the forest that lead to the gravel banks of the river Isar. Chorlitejo Chico is breeding there (but pay attention to the entry ban during breeding season!). Regular winter guests in the area are Garza Real, Porrón Moñudo, Porrón Osculado, Martín Pescador Común and Bisbita Alpino. Along the way north of the water channel you sometimes find feeding stations where you can observe birds from a small distance. The Isar valley also is habitat of Búho Real.
