At the Hagenburger canal you can see many ducks in winter and autumn. Especially at the point where the canal floats into the Steinhuder Meer. Among the ducks you can expect are Gargönd, Skeiðönd, Rauðhöfðaönd, Stokkönd, Grafönd, Skutulönd, Jarpönd and Skúfönd. In spring you can find warblers like Flóðsöngvari, Straumsöngvari, Reyrsöngvari, Seljusöngvari and Sefsöngvari. And this is also one of the best spots for Bláþyrill.
