Description

The Northern part of The Grunewald can be broken down into 3 smaller interesting birding areas:

1 The Drachenberg, just like the nearby Teufelsberg the Drachenberg was created by piling up all the rubble of Berlin after WWII, and is now covered in vegetation. Due to its flat top It provides an excelent platform to view the forest and Berlin. Especially the South eastern slope of the Drachenberg, facing the Teufelsberg, is interesting for birding. It is covered in small bushes and wildflowers and in summer home to many insects and birds. There are Pie-grièche écorcheur , Bruant jaune andFaucon crécerelle here as well as the more common forest birds.

2 The Sandgrube is an old quarry turned into a protected area. It is about 25 meter deep and has some permanent water (little lake at the bottom) with reedbeds and in summer there are many different plants, butterflies and all sorts of insects. Due to its mixed habitat of sand, grass, flowers, forest, swamp, and reedbeds you can find many different species here, like Rousserolle turdoïde, Bruant jaune, Pie-grièche écorcheur, Sizerin flammé, Rossignol philomèle, Tarier des prés, Grand Corbeau and Fauvette grisette.

3 Teufelsee and adjacant Ökowerk Naturschutzzentrum. The latter also organizes birding tours with guide for very low prices. The compound of the Ökowerk is home to breeding Rougequeue noir and Rougequeue à front blanc. The Teufelsee is also frequently visited in winter by a Canard carolin. In summer the Teufelsee and adjacant field is used for nudist recreation so maybe not the best time to walk around with a binoculars or camera.

In the forest in between these 3 areas one can find all 3 species of spotted woodpeckers, as well as the Pic noir. Also flycatchers, Mésange noire, Mésange huppée, Mésange nonnette, Autour des palombes and Buse variable.
