Descripción
The former gravel mining area Plessenteich has been transformed into a bird sanctuary. Shallow water zones and islands have been created. The lake landscape serves more than 230 bird species as a breeding and resting place. From the observation tower and several other viewpoints you have good views on the area. The Plessenteich is good for birding at any time of the year. Regular breeding birds are Carricero Tordal, Gaviota Reidora, Charrán Común, Chorlitejo Chico and Avefría Europea. Also Martín Pescador Común, Escribano Cerillo, Milano Real and Gaviota Cabecinegra are often seen. Annually recurring migrating birds include Cerceta Común, Pato Colorado, Tarro Canelo, Garceta Grande, Andarríos Chico, Combatiente, Archibebe Claro and Agachadiza común.
