Description

About 150 species have so far been recorded in this tiny nature reserve. Bir länge Stude is part of the Grosses Moos in the north of Lake Neuchâtel. It consists of a south-facing slope with semi-dry meadows (1), richly structured hedges (2) and a restored gravel pit (3). At the foot of the slope, some ponds have been created for amphibians (4); a small, ecologically managed vineyard (5) is cultivated here on a voluntary basis.

The typical birds of these habitats, which have become rare elsewhere, include Fauvette grisette, Rossignol philomèle, Pie-grièche écorcheur, Tarier des prés, Rougequeue à front blanc and Tarier pâtre. The orchard trees provide food for Torcol fourmilier. Especially in the tree groups lower down (6) you’ll find Tourterelle des bois and Loriot d'Europe. One of the main target species of conservation efforts here is the Bruant proyer, which has one of its last refuges in Switzerland in the Grosses Moos. Somewhat less frequently, Locustelle tachetée, Fauvette babillarde and Caille des blés are also seen. Noteworthy too is the large colony of Hirondelle de rivage in the restored gravel pit. From there, the call of the Guêpier d'Europe has been heard repeatedly - so far probably only from migrating individuals.

During spring migration, rare relatives of the habitat’s typical resident species turn up again and again: Alouette calandrelle, Bruant ortolan, Étourneau roselin, and most recently a Pie-grièche à tête rousse have been sighted. Hibou des marais and Faucon kobez have also already stopped over in the area.
