Descrizione
The Neolith Teich belongs to the Middle Elbe Biosphere Reserve and is about 107 hectares in size. The banks of the pond, which is actually more of a small lake, are overgrown with reeds and therefore offer many hiding places for birds. And the meadows next to the pond are perfect for feeding. Poplar and pine forests, shrubs and grassland complete the picture. Especially in the period from September to December it is worth a visit. During this time, more than 30,000 Oca lombardella and Oca granaiola della tundra stay in the area. Sometimes there are also rarer guests among them, like Oca zamperosee, Oca lombardella minore, Oca facciabianca, Oca colombaccio or Oca collorosso. The area is also rich in ducks. You can see the more common ducks, but also sometimes Fistione turco, Codone, Moretta grigia, Fischione and Moretta tabaccata. Of the total of 85 bird species recorded at Neolith Teich, about 23 are also breeding birds. Among them are ducks like Canapiglia, Mestolone, Marzaiola, Moriglione, but also Tuffetto, Svasso collorosso, Tarabuso, Tarabusino, Forapaglie comune, Cannaiola, Cannareccione, Pendolino and Falco di palude. Sometimes Aquila di mare is seen around the lake.
