Description
The Krickenbecker Seen consist of four fairly large lakes, which originated between the 16th and 19th century due to peat extraction. In 1938, the area became a protected nature reserve due to its large variety of flora and fauna. Especially in winter, the area is a very good location for waterfowl, like ducks, geese and herons. The surrounding forests are good for songbirds and woodpeckers.
The two largest lakes, called Glabbacher Bruch and Hinsbecker Bruch, contain the largest numbers of waterfowl during the winter months. Large flocks of Canard colvert, Fuligule milouin, Canard souchet and Canard chipeau can be found in flocks of 100+ individuals. Also Harle bièvre and Harle piette can be observed fairly regularly. During autumn migration, the area is apparently favorable for migrating waterbirds, like Guifette noire and Mouette pygmée. In the last ten years, even observations of Mouette tridactyle, Sterne caspienne and Mouette de Sabine have been made.
The two smaller lakes, called Schrolik and Poelvenn, are located on the western side of the larger lakes and are also a very good spot for waterfowl, but in smaller numbers. Species like Sarcelle d'hiver can be found here too. The shores are covered more with reedbeds and therefore a very good place for reedbirds, like Rousserolle effarvatte and Bruant des roseaux and sometimes even Locustelle tachetée, Panure à moustaches and Gorgebleue à miroir.
The lakes are connected to the Nette river, which is a very good location for Martin-pêcheur d'Europe and Bergeronnette des ruisseaux.
The area is also a good spot for migrating raptors, especially above the lakes, like Milan royal, Milan noir and Balbuzard pêcheur.
The surrounding forests are an ideal location for typical forest species, Fauvette à tête noire, Rougequeue à front blanc and Gobemouche noir. Also, many woodpeckers can be found here, like Pic mar and Pic noir.
