Descripción
About 150 species have so far been recorded in this tiny nature reserve. Bir länge Stude is part of the Grosses Moos in the north of Lake Neuchâtel. It consists of a south-facing slope with semi-dry meadows (1), richly structured hedges (2) and a restored gravel pit (3). At the foot of the slope, some ponds have been created for amphibians (4); a small, ecologically managed vineyard (5) is cultivated here on a voluntary basis.
The typical birds of these habitats, which have become rare elsewhere, include Curruca Zarcera, Ruiseñor Común, Alcaudón Dorsirrojo, Tarabilla Norteña, Colirrojo Real and Tarabilla común. The orchard trees provide food for Torcecuello Euroasiático. Especially in the tree groups lower down (6) you’ll find Tórtola Europea and Oropéndola Europea. One of the main target species of conservation efforts here is the Escribano Triguero, which has one of its last refuges in Switzerland in the Grosses Moos. Somewhat less frequently, Buscarla Pintoja, Curruca Zarcerilla and Codorniz Común are also seen. Noteworthy too is the large colony of Avión Zapador in the restored gravel pit. From there, the call of the Abejaruco Europeo has been heard repeatedly - so far probably only from migrating individuals.
During spring migration, rare relatives of the habitat’s typical resident species turn up again and again: Terrera Común, Escribano Hortelano, Estornino Rosado, and most recently a Alcaudón Común have been sighted. Búho Campestre and Cernícalo Patirrojo have also already stopped over in the area.
