Description

NSG Salbruch is a diverse nature reservoir along the Niers river. Around Clörather Mühle some ponds have been created in the former river bed of the Niers, which has been straightened in the early 20th century. In the summer a pair of Cigogne blanche breeds regularly next to the old water mill. Many other birds, such as Huîtrier pie, several specias of ducks and other waterfowl (Canard chipeau, Canard colvert, Foulque macroule, Grèbe castagneux, Gallinule poule-d'eau) , and many songbirds (most notably Tarier pâtre, Fauvette grisette, Fauvette des jardins, Loriot d'Europe) breed or stay the summer in this area, which contains different habitats of ponds and wetlands, greenland with hedges and small groups of trees, smaller forested areas and a former quarry pond. It's a good area to look out for birds of prey, such has Buse variable, Faucon crécerelle, Milan royal, Busard des roseaux, Milan noir, Autour des palombes, Épervier d'Europe, Faucon hobereau during summer and Busard Saint-Martin during winter. Along the Niers river you can search for a hunting Martin-pêcheur d'Europe. During migration season, many resting birds can be observed. Typical species are Bécassine des marais, Chevalier aboyeur, Chevalier sylvain, Chevalier culblanc, Petit Gravelot, Combattant varié and others. Best location to watch these migratory birds are the ponds at Clörather Mühle and the Damoklesteich (the small pond at the end of a dirt road behind the old water mill). During winter many resting waterfowl can be seen on the quarry lake Rahserbruch and on the ponds at the Clörather Mühle. These contain many ducks such as Sarcelle d'hiver , Canard souchet, Canard siffleur or Fuligule morillon.
