Descrizione
The 375 ha large wetland reserve Schlammwiss in Uebersyren is an important migratory stopover for a great amount of birds, which use the wetlands to refill their reserves. The area has marshes, patches of forest, agricultural lands and orchards and Schlammwiss has with almost 20 hectares one of the biggest reed banks in Luxembourg.
The main bird species using the reed banks are Cannaiola, Cannaiola verdognola and Migliarino di palude. Beside the breeding birds the reed banks are a stopover place for Pettazzurro, Pendolino, Basettino, Salciaiola, Cannareccione, Forapaglie comune and Pagliarolo. In the open areas between the reedbeds and the surrounding farms you can find birds like Saltimpalo, Averla piccola, Cardellino, Sterpazzola and Forapaglie macchiettato and during migration Quaglia, Stiaccino and Culbianco.
About 40.000 Rondine with Topino arrive every year around August-September in the reed banks of Schlammwiss and create a natural spectacle that attracts predators like Lodolaio, Falco pellegrino, Sparviere and some owls. Futhermore big groups of Storno - about 20.000 each year - and Spioncello – about 100 each year – are using the reeds as sleeping or over wintering place too. As well small groups of Ballerina bianca, Cutrettola and Zigolo giallo are using the reed as sleeping place.
