Description

The starting point is the parking area at the “Illmitzer Seewäldchen”. Following the sandy trail to the north, the voices of Loriot d'Europe, Huppe fasciée , Torcol fourmilier, Hypolaïs ictérine, and Gobemouche gris can be heard at the forest edge in spring. Huppe fasciée, Linotte mélodieuse, and Chardonneret élégant are regulars. A quick look with a spotting scope towards the opening under the gable of the prominent stable reveals whether (and how many) Effraie des clochers are present.

At the birdwatching hide "Südliche Seekoppel", with the view in the reedbelt of Lake Neusiedl various waterbirds can be observed. Breeding species like: Spatule blanche, Cormoran pygmée, Grand Cormoran, Oie cendrée, Busard des roseaux, Grèbe huppé, Aigrette garzette, Grande Aigrette, Marouette poussin or migrants like Canard siffleur, Grand Gravelot, Chevalier culblanc, Chevalier sylvain, can be regularly seen.

On the way to the Seebad (the lakefront resort) in spring, birdwatchers familiar with the voices of reed passerines will be able to hear all of the species breeding here: Rousserolle effarvatte , Phragmite des joncs, Rousserolle turdoïde, Lusciniole à moustaches and Locustelle luscinioïde, as well as Panure à moustaches, Rémiz penduline and Bruant des roseaux. Grèbe castagneux, Gallinule poule-d'eau, Fuligule milouin, Marouette poussin and Grèbe huppé can be seen swimming in the pools of open water within the reed belt, as can – with a little luck – the occasional Fuligule nyroca.

In "Seebad" itself has become known for two primary reasons. First, periods of bad weather between April and mid-May can force large numbers of migrating passerines to seek refuge in the few available trees, bushes, and meadows. Second, this part of the shore of Lake Neusiedl is the best place in all of Austria to see skuas (mainly Labbe à longue queue and Labbe pomarin). A few specimen of this rather rare bird family (at least for inland birdwatching) are discovered here every year between mid-August and mid-October. The harbour inlet for ferries is a good place to get quite close-range photos of some of the more common gulls.
