Description
The pond of Rixdorfer Teich is popular with typical urban birds like pyrstötiainen, punarinta and närhi, as well as waterfowl like kyhmyjoutsen, mandariinisorsa and Liejukana.
Some of the usual talitiainen are very used to humans and will even take seeds from the hand. There is a family of hiirihaukka that live in the park, and one or two are usually hanging around in the trees near the pond. In summer many haarapääsky circle over the pond, and in autumn and winter there are always lots of tikli in the alders next to the pond.
