Description
A visit to Dhünntalsperre is particularly worthwhile in winter, as many ducks hibernate on the reservoir. Every year, rarities such as Plongeon arctique, Plongeon imbrin, Grèbe esclavon, Grèbe jougris and Macreuse brune are reported in winter. A Pie-grièche grise has overwintered on the clear-cut areas in recent years and Busard Saint-Martin and Faucon pèlerin can also be observed in winter.
With a bit of luck, you may see Balbuzard pêcheur on migration. In summer Cigogne noire, Bondrée apivore and Faucon hobereau are among the area's highlights. The birds that can be observed all year round include Fuligule morillon, Grand Corbeau, Cincle plongeur, Tarin des aulnes and many more. Note that a scope is very helpful to ID the different species, that can be far away on the water body. If you dont want to hike 12 km you can go to the dam and watch birds from there. You can check what species were observed on Ornitho.de, choose NW and then GL to acess the district, where the reservoir is located.
