Descrizione
Wacken offers surprisingly good birding for an urban environment. The main reason to come to Wacken, aside from its convenience for anyone visiting the European institutions, or for any Strasbourgeois heading for a swim in the nearby outdoor pool, is the chance to watch the resident Airone cenerino fishing on the weir. Gabbiano reale, Gabbiano comune and Cormorano also take advantage of the white water and are equally habituated to human presence, making photography rather easy.
The walking route shown on the map is offered as an example for anyone wanting to go for a stroll, but most of the birdlife is fairly compact and there's no real need to head out further than the canoe/kayak club at one end, or the appropriately named Ile aux Oiseaux (Bird Island) at the other.
Moving away from the weir you'll find a series of council-owned allotments and gardens that are full of birds, helped in part by one of the tenants creating a "refuge LPO" - a kind of mini bird reserve. There may not be a huge amount of light under the foliage but Rampichino comune abound, as do Pigliamosche in the spring and summer. As far as garden birds go, most of the usual suspects can be found at one time or another. Lucherino are notable visitors in winter, and it's always worth looking out for Scricciolo as well as Regolo and Fiorrancino in the riverside undergrowth.
The area towards the pool is a roost for corvids in winter, and receives frequent visits from a Sparviere. A little further on you'll often see a Martin pescatore darting across the water, and can usually find Cormorano in the tree tops, as well as Gallinella d'acqua underneath.
