Description
The Günther-Klotz-Anlage is a great place for casual birding, especially for families or those new to the hobby. There is always something to see up close and a good range of birds.
Numerous paths through the park and along the river make the park very accessible and the birds are used to people. There is usually a good mix of waterbirds on the ponds: Vízityúk, Szárcsa, Tőkés réce, Nílusi lúd, Bütykös hattyú, Szürke gém and Kárókatona are nearly always present and there is a good chance of seeing Jégmadár or Mandarinréce. The mix of trees and bushes in the park provide a good habitat for numerous songbirds: Seregély, Házi veréb, tengelic, Erdei pinty, széncinege, Kék cinege, Nagy fakopáncs and közép fakopáncs can all be seen or heard throughout the year.
The paths along the river are particularly good for songbirds in summer. In addition to the birds mentioned above, Barátcinege, őszapó, Ökörszem, Vörösbegy and hegyi billegető can often be heard or spotted. At the right time of the year, it's also possible to see and hear both Szürke légykapó and Kormos légykapó.
During the winter months, flocks of Csíz and the odd fenyőrigó can often be seen feeding throughout the park. At dusk, large gatherings of Kormos varjú are an additional (noisy) winter attraction.
It's always worth checking the sky for any circling or soaring raptors, too (vörös vércse, Egerészölyv and Vörös kánya). If you're lucky, you could well see one of the Vándorsólyom that breed on one of the tall buildings nearby.
