Description
The nature reserve of Rümlandteich und Methorstteich is a beautiful area to observe water and forest bird species. You can make larger and smaller walks via hiking trails. Both ponds are drained temporarily (especially in autumn/winter) and then offer particularly interesting observation opportunities (wading birds, wintering vuorikirvinen). merikotka breed here and can be observed regularly. kaulushaikara occasionally call in the reed belt of the Rümlandteich. In the adjacent forest areas, all species of woodpecker are found ( palokärki, vihertikka, käpytikka, tammitikka and pikkutikka), as well as huuhkaja, nuolihaukka, Mehiläishaukka, kirjosieppo and, in some years, pikkusieppo. In the winter months, many laulujoutsen often stay here during the day. Both bodies of water are also home to 200 laulujoutsen and pikkujoutsen and up to 800 tundrahanhi and tundrametsähanhi. In the adjacent grassland you can observe isolepinkäinen, sinisuohaukka and many geese in winter.
