Around 1000 цуцулест нуркач, numerous цуцулест кожувар and црвеноглав кожувар, several hundred голем северен нуркач and четириока патка spend the winter here. Up to 300 жолтоклун лебед and 2000 белочелна гуска spend the night on the lake. Great numbers of голема бела чапја also fly in in the evening (up to 100). On the spring migration, the мал галеб are particularly noticeable (up to 3000 on good days), also many црна рибарка. Unfortunately, waders do not stop here, but regularly pull along here. In the reed belts around the lake, ponds, трскар рогозар, блатен трскар, мал трскар, Синогушка and барска кокошка breed. About 10-15 pairs of рибарче live here. белоопашест орел and орел рибар can be seen hunting on a regular basis. The среден клукајдрвец, црн клукајдрвец, був and црноглаво муварче breed in the surrounding forests. славејче, мустаклеста сипка and обичен трскар can unfortunately only be heard occasionally at the Westensee.

Access
Access possible from different sides. The Wroher Bay, the Westenseer Bay and the Hohenhuder Bay are particularly worthwhile. From Felde there are good overview points over the whole lake. For walking around the whole lake the distance is too big (25 km), but perfect for bicycle.
