Descrizione

Old Laxenburg Castle became a Habsburg possession in 1333. After 1780, the castle garden was rearranged as an English landscape garden. It contains an artificial pond with several partly not accessible islands. One island accommodates a huge colony of Airone cenerino .

There are a lot of old trees and several species of woodpecker can easily be found. Most resident species have short flight distances. Common are Picchio rosso mezzano, Picchio rosso maggiore, Picchio verde, Picchio nero and Picchio rosso minore . But also Picchio cenerino occurs and even Picchio rosso di Siria and Picchio dorsobianco were allready observed. Along with all those woodpeckers comes a variety of cavity-nesting birds as for instance Tits and Storno. In two groups of old plane trees exist quite sizeable breeding-colonies of Taccola. Other regularly occuring species during breeding season are Cuculo, Colombella and Rigogolo.

Year round Smergo maggiore, Airone cenerino, Cormorano andMartin pescatore can be observed.

During winter the park gives home to Airone bianco maggiore, Moretta, Gufo comune and a lot of singing birds such as different species of thrushes or finches.
