Description

The Eschefelder Teiche are a nature reserve located 30 km south of Leipzig. The area consists of 8 ponds and covers an area of 270 hectares. The ponds were artificially created in the 18th century for fishing. The largest pond is the pond near Eschefeld. The ponds are an important feeding, breeding and resting area for numerous waterfowl species. The surrounding area is mainly used for agriculture. On the edge of the large pond there is the Naturschutzstation (nature conservation station) Teichhaus. It is run by NABU (BirdLife Germany) and also has a restaurant. On the banks of the large pond on the artificially created dam you can find a bird hide.

The area has a Mouette rieuse colony on the largest of the 8 lakes. In the noisy colony Grèbe à cou noir and Mouette mélanocéphale also find shelter. The most important breeding birds include Butor étoilé and Blongios nain, Busard des roseaux, Rousserolle turdoïde, Rémiz penduline, Panure à moustaches, Rossignol philomèle and Gorgebleue à miroir. All these species are best observed between April and early June. Depending on the season ducks like Sarcelle d'été, Nette rousse, Garrot à oeil d'or, Harle bièvre, Canard souchet, Tadorne de Belon and Canard pilet can be seen.

During migration periods, other species arrive. Balbuzard pêcheur and Pygargue à queue blanche are regular guests who prey on food in the waters. There are also Guifette noire as well as Mouette pygmée. Another interesting group during migration is resting waders. These include Vanneau huppé, Petit Gravelot, Grand Gravelot, Bécassine des marais, Chevalier aboyeur, Chevalier guignette, Chevalier sylvain, Chevalier gambette and Combattant varié. Sometimes rare birds like Bécasseau tacheté, Chevalier stagnatile and Phalarope à bec étroit are observed.
