Descrizione
In the nature reserve Isarauen, the 1100x290m measuring reservoir Ickinger Stausee lies embedded between the 30m wide Isar water channel and the river Isar. At the reservoir there are breeding Svasso maggiore and Oca selvatica. Anatra mandarina and Cannaiola also appear. Picchio cenerino and Picchio rosso minore live in the riparian forests. Further breeding birds in the area are Smergo maggiore, Merlo acquaiolo and Ballerina gialla.
From the path on the north side of the reservoir there are occasionally narrow paths through the forest that lead to the gravel banks of the river Isar. Corriere piccolo is breeding there (but pay attention to the entry ban during breeding season!). Regular winter guests in the area are Airone cenerino, Moretta, Quattrocchi, Martin pescatore and Spioncello. Along the way north of the water channel you sometimes find feeding stations where you can observe birds from a small distance. The Isar valley also is habitat of Gufo reale.
