Description
Old Laxenburg Castle became a Habsburg possession in 1333. After 1780, the castle garden was rearranged as an English landscape garden. It contains an artificial pond with several partly not accessible islands. One island accommodates a huge colony of Héron cendré .
There are a lot of old trees and several species of woodpecker can easily be found. Most resident species have short flight distances. Common are Pic mar, Pic épeiche, Pic vert, Pic noir and Pic épeichette . But also Pic cendré occurs and even Pic syriaque and Pic à dos blanc were allready observed. Along with all those woodpeckers comes a variety of cavity-nesting birds as for instance Tits and Étourneau sansonnet. In two groups of old plane trees exist quite sizeable breeding-colonies of Choucas des tours. Other regularly occuring species during breeding season are Coucou gris, Pigeon colombin and Loriot d'Europe.
Year round Harle bièvre, Héron cendré, Grand Cormoran andMartin-pêcheur d'Europe can be observed.
During winter the park gives home to Grande Aigrette, Fuligule morillon, Hibou moyen-duc and a lot of singing birds such as different species of thrushes or finches.
