Description
The Outer Alster ("Alster" is the name of the river, "Außen" means Outer) represents a large water body located on a migratory bird route within a metropole region. Frequent breeding and feeding birds like Tőkés réce (of course), Búbos vöcsök, Szárcsa, Vízityúk, Kárókatona or Dankasirály are known from many places. Especially during winter half of the year water birds of all kind can be expected. Several species of ducks (including Fekete réce, Hegyi réce, Csörgo réce), divers (Vörösnyakú vöcsök, Feketenyakú vöcsök, Füles vöcsök), gulls (all common species) and terns ( kormos szerkő, Küszvágó csér) can be observed with a bit of luck and scope. Even Rétisas has been seen gliding over. Recorded rarities include Nagy halfarkas and fehérszárnyú szerkő.
