Description

Although nearly 200 bird species have been recorded here, those two Lacken (alkaline ponds) are not mentioned in major birdwatching guides to the Seewinkel (such as those by Christoph Roland or Leander Khil), likely because the region boasts many even more attractive sites.

Still, the two Lacken described here are worth visiting. They have yielded notable sightings including Chevalier stagnatile, Bécasseau tacheté, Bernache cravant, Bernache à cou roux, Sterne hansel, and even a Vanneau sociable. The variable water levels create broad silting zones that attract numerous waders such as Courlis cendré, Chevalier gambette, Bécasseau variable, and others during migration.

Geese and ducks like Canard siffleur, Tadorne de Belon, and Oie cendrée are regulars, and in autumn or winter, Oie rieuse and occasionally Oie naine can be found feeding in nearby fields. The surrounding fields and scrub also support breeding Pie-grièche écorcheur, Fauvette grisette, and possibly even Fauvette épervière, while Pipit à gorge rousse appear regularly in autumn and Pie-grièche grise stays for the winter.

Best viewing is from the south for Ochsenbrunnenlacke and from the southeast (in evening light) for Birnbaumlacke.
