Descrizione

Abgrabung Graverdyk is a quarry pond with only a few places, where birdwatchers can see the area. There is an observation point overlooking the western lake, which can be recommended during winter to look out for wintering waterfowl. Most prominent guests are Moretta, Moriglione and Codone, but also rare visitors such as Orco marino or Strolaga minore have been observed (you have to be very lucky, though). In other seasons there are not too many birds to be seen on the lake. During spring and autumn migration a sandbank in the eastern main lake draws wading birds, such as Pavoncella, Piro piro culbianco, Piro piro boschereccio, Combattente, Piovanello pancianera, Corriere piccolo or Corriere grosso. There is an opening in the trees surrounding the lake and a place, where birders can watch the sandbank. It is indicated in the map (you have to watch through an iron fence). There is a Topino colony on the new lake in the east (spring / summer), but it is difficult to watch due to distance. I have indicated a spot with an overlook. The trees / hedges around the lake contain a variety of song birds.

Dettagli

Accesso

There is no dedicated parking, but you can park along the roadside near the observation point on the grass next to the road (make sure you do not block farm and residential traffic). Given the distance to the birds you will need a spotting scope. Apart from the observation point (interesting only in winter) you will have to watch through iron fence from the roadside (very quiet field access roads).
