Description
The Laubenheimer-Bodenheimer Ried is located in the Bodenheimer Aue in the Upper Rhine lowlands near Mainz. A diverse mosaic of floodplain-specific habitats has developed in former clay pits, silted-up flood channels of the Rhine and on agricultural land. The ponds and meadows are surrounded by reeds. On the electricity pylons that run through the area, you can find the largest kattohaikara colony in Rheinland Pfalz. Among the birds you can observe in the area are tavi, punapäänarsku, tukkasotka, käki, töyhtöhyyppä, jalohaikara, isohaarahaukka, haarahaukka, kiuru, keltasirkku, etelänsatakieli and mustapäätasku.
