Description
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 трскар рогозар, блатен трскар and Мочварна овесарка. Beside the breeding birds the reed banks are a stopover place for Синогушка, сипка торбарка, мустаклеста сипка, штурче трскарче, обичен трскар, мал трскар and воден трскар. In the open areas between the reedbeds and the surrounding farms you can find birds like планинско ливадарче, обично страче, билбилче, обично грмушарче and полски трскар and during migration потполошка, обично ливадарче and обично камењарче.
About 40.000 селска ластовичка with брегова ластовичка arrive every year around August-September in the reed banks of Schlammwiss and create a natural spectacle that attracts predators like сокол ластовичар, сив сокол, јастреб врапчар and some owls. Futhermore big groups of обичен сколовранец - about 20.000 each year - and карпеста трепетилка – about 100 each year – are using the reeds as sleeping or over wintering place too. As well small groups of бела тресиопашка, Жолта тресиопашка and жолтогрла стрнарка are using the reed as sleeping place.
