Brandenburg  >  Germany

Former airport site in the northwest of Cottbus with meadows and woodland. A surprising habitat for many bird species in the Lausitz Science Park.

Description

The largely unused former military airport is characterized by large open grassy areas, old taxiways and runways, as well as the ruins of military buildings, hangars, and a control tower. Between the open spaces, there are sparse stands of trees and shrubs, providing a variety of nesting and resting opportunities. Adjacent to the site is a former barracks settlement, whose abandoned buildings provide additional habitats.

The combination of open spaces and small wooded areas makes the area an ideal habitat for species that prefer undisturbed open landscapes: Alouette des champs, Pipit farlouse, and Pie-grièche écorcheur can be observed here, as well as birds of prey such as Faucon crécerelle, Buse variable, and the occasional Milan royal. Tarier pâtre, Rougequeue à front blanc, and Chardonneret élégant also use the buildings and their surroundings.

Visitors can use the historic tower as a viewing point upon request – an excellent location for surveying the area and observing birdlife.
