Descripción
Mooswald and Mooswaldseen consist of the old (eastern) and the new (western) lake Mooswaldsee, a few other quarry lakes, a birch forest, reed areas and it borders directly on the meadow areas of the Leipheimer Moos (also described on Birdingplaces). Many exciting bird species live here in a very small area. In the forest you can regularly observe 7 native species of woodpeckers (Pico Picapinos, Pico Mediano, Pico Menor, Pito Real, Pito Cano, Picamaderos Negro, Torcecuello Euroasiático), plus lots of songbirds like Oropéndola Europea and Papamoscas Acollarado, but also larger birds like Cuervo Grande and Cuco Común.
A Gaviota Reidora colony is located at the old Mooswaldsee, but bigger gulls like Gaviota Patiamarilla are also usually there. You can easily observe them from a small observation hide. In addition, an escaped Chilean flamingo has been seen here again and again for several years. At the new Mooswaldsee there is an observation tower with a free telescope attached, through which you can observe various species of ducks and geese. Waders like Chorlitejo Chico, Combatiente and Andarríos Grande are also not uncommon there.
In the reed areas around the lake you can often hear Ruiseñor Pechiazul, Carricerín Común, Carricero Tordal, Carricero Común, Buscarla Unicolor and Escribano Palustre. Bushes around the lakes have Carricero Políglota, Ruiseñor Común, Tarabilla común and Pájaro-moscón Europeo. And there are also plenty of birds of prey: Águila Pescadora, Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental and Alcotán Europeo, in winter also Búho Campestre and Aguilucho pálido, hunt here.
The area is definitely worth a visit, also because extreme rarities are repeatedly reported.
