Description
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 белочелна гуска and Tundra Bean Goose stay in the area. Sometimes there are also rarer guests among them, like Pink-footed Goose, мала белочелна гуска, Barnacle Goose, Brent Goose or црвенограда гуска. The area is also rich in ducks. You can see the more common ducks, but also sometimes патка превез, патка ластовичарка, морски кожувар, патка свиркач and црн кожувар. Of the total of 85 bird species recorded at Neolith Teich, about 23 are also breeding birds. Among them are ducks like сива патка, патка лажичарка, патка крецка, црвеноглав кожувар, but also мал нуркач, црвеноврат нуркач, голем воден бик, Мал воден бик, мал трскар, трскар рогозар, обичен трскар, сипка торбарка and блатна еја. Sometimes белоопашест орел is seen around the lake.
