Description
The Bucher Landgraben in the north of Nuremberg, near the airport, is a renaturalized wetland area of particular importance for species and bird conservation. Along the small stream that runs through open meadows, reed beds, willow bushes, and swamp forest areas, habitat has been specifically restored in recent years to promote ecological diversity. This near-natural design offers ideal conditions for numerous bird species – both for breeding and as a resting place during migration.
The area is particularly valuable for meadow and wetland breeders as well as for migratory birds that rest here during the transition periods. Typical breeding birds include the Seftittlingur, Gultittlingur, Síkjasöngvari, Sefsöngvari, Sönglævirki, and Þyrnisvarri. Þúfutittlingur, Trjátittlingur, and occasionally Vepja have also been observed here. Hettusöngvari, Músarrindill, Barrspæta, and Söngþröstur live in the woods along the ditch. During the migration season, Vallskvetta, Steindepill, and even Hrossagaukur can be seen regularly. Förufálki and Brúnheiðir also use the area to search for food.
The Bucher Landgraben is a rather quiet, little-frequented area, which makes it particularly attractive for shy species. For birdwatchers, it offers a rare combination of renaturalized cultural landscape, wetland biotopes, and a quiet location. A real insider tip in the Nuremberg city area. In the early morning or late afternoon bird activity is at its peak.
Rare bird species that have been observed at the Bucher Landgraben include Hrossagaukur, Vallskvetta, Flóðsöngvari, Brúnheiðir, and occasionally even Flóðrella.
