Description
The small river Selz has been renaturalised at this reserve. Along with an area of flooded marshes, reedbeds, ponds, grassland and scattered riverine woodland, some regionally scarce breeders are present and over the years a wide variety of passage and winter birds have been recorded. Over 200 species are now on the reserve list. A concerted effort in Spring on a good day can produce 70 species at the reserve and along the river.
The main attraction for most will be spring and summer reedbed visitors, such as Gorgebleue à miroir, Locustelle luscinioïde and Busard des roseaux. Rousserolle turdoïde has become more regular and Panure à moustaches appears to have recently colonised. Rémiz penduline has bred but nowadays has generally reduced to being a scarce migrant. There is a Héron cendré colony and scarcer relatives such as Bihoreau gris, Aigrette garzette, Blongios nain, Héron pourpré and Butor étoilé have all been recorded in recent years, some regularly.
Passage waders can be found on the pools or flooded grasslands, but this is heavily dependent on weather and water level conditions. More regular are Chevalier culblanc, Chevalier sylvain, Chevalier gambette Chevalier aboyeur, Bécasseau variable, Combattant varié and Chevalier arlequin but local scarcities such as Barge à queue noire, Courlis corlieu, Bécasseau cocorli, Bécasseau de Temminck and even Phalarope à bec large have all been recorded.
Grue cendrée , Cigogne blanche and Cigogne noire are regular visitors. The woodlands hold good numbers of Rossignol philomèle and Loriot d'Europe. Pic mar has recently colonised the area. Chevêche d'Athéna and Hibou moyen-duc breed, as does Faucon hobereau, Milan royal and Milan noir.
Wildfowl numbers build up modestly in Spring and Autumn with Sarcelle d'hiver being the most easily encountered. Visibility can be a challenge with reeds obscuring the pools, so try using a scope from higher ground. In most winters, singles or low numbers of wild geese are recorded among the resident groups of Oie cendrée, the most regular being Oie rieuse. Pipit spioncelle is regular on passage and sometimes winter.

Accès
Limited free parking is available at a couple of small paved areas next to the L432 between Hahnheim and Sörgenloch. This road is also on a bus-route (652) with the nearest bus-stop at Wahlheimer Hof to the east of the reserve, or alternatively at Sörgenloch to the west. A path, paved only on most of the southern side, circumvents the pools, grassland, and reedbeds. Cycling the southern edge is possible, but other stretches are higher grass or muddy depending on conditions.
