Description
The nature reserve of Rümlandteich und Methorstteich is a beautiful area to observe water and forest bird species. You can make larger and smaller walks via hiking trails. Both ponds are drained temporarily (especially in autumn/winter) and then offer particularly interesting observation opportunities (wading birds, wintering Planinska trepteljka). Štekavac breed here and can be observed regularly. Bukavac occasionally call in the reed belt of the Rümlandteich. In the adjacent forest areas, all species of woodpecker are found ( Crna žuna, Zelena žuna, Veliki Djetlić, Crvenoglavi djetlić and Mali djetao), as well as Ušara, Sokol Lastavičar, Škanjac osaš, Crnoglava Muharica and, in some years, Mala muharica. In the winter months, many Žutokljuni Labud often stay here during the day. Both bodies of water are also home to 200 Žutokljuni Labud and Mali labud and up to 800 Lisasta Guska and Tundra guska. In the adjacent grassland you can observe Veliki svračak, Eja Strnjarica and many geese in winter.
