Descrizione
You probably wouldn't go out of your way to visit but if you're in Strasbourg anyway, you may find Étang du Karpfenloch a pleasant place to spend a few moments birdwatching, especially in winter when the ducks and other waterbirds have arrived. The big plus aside from its proximity to a big city is the glorious afternoon light on a sunny winter's day.
There will be quite a few walkers passing by. They'll mainly be interested in the Airone bianco maggiore as well as the Cormorano and Airone cenerino, which are there all year round along with a surprising number of Martin pescatore.
From mid-to-late autumn until the spring, you can find large numbers of Canapiglia, accompanied at different times by groups of Moriglione and/or Moretta and, to a lesser extent, Fischione. Towards the back of the pond there should also be several Tuffetto and perhaps some Svasso maggiore.
If you stick around for an hour or more, you have a good chance of seeing the raptors that pass semi-regularly but usually briefly. Falco pellegrino, Gheppio, Poiana and Sparviere are all realistic possibilities, and a Astore has been known to frequent the far side of the pond.
Corvids - mainly Cornacchia nera, Corvo comune and Corvo imperiale - congregate nearby in winter and will pass over the pond at various points during the day without necessarily hanging around. There are several Picchio rosso maggiore in the vicinity. Picchio nero can also be found, though not as easily as in the past.
Passerines that you have a good chance of encountering include Cinciallegra, Cinciarella, Cincia bigia, Picchio muratore and Lucherino. In winter, you'll probably hear Tordela and Cesena too.
Dettagli
Accesso
Étang du Karpfenloch is about 6 km northeast of the city center of Strasbourg. The pond is right next to a car park that shouldn't ever be full (there's more space on the road if necessary). Press P on the map for directions. You can also cycle here quite easily, but there's no public transport. If you're already in Robertsau then it's not too far to walk here from Parc de Pourtales.
