Beschrijving
The plain between Langau and Wolfsbach is one of the best spots in Austria to observe wintering raptors like Ruigpootbuizerd or Blauwe Kiekendief. It is also one of very few places, where Steppekiekendief has been observed more regularly. Zeearend breeds in the vicinity. Rare visitors on passage, like Schreeuwarend , Arendbuizerd, Sakervalk or Morinelplevier can be observed with luck. During migration season it's a stopover site for huge flocks of Kievit and Goudplevier and some Wulp. But also passerines like Paapje or Tapuit. A small flood retention pond often attracts different waterbirds. The site is quite under-birded and therefore could provide surprises in the future (like Steppekievit, Kleinste Jager and others).
Details
Toegang
The site can be explored by bike or car, as there are many dirt roads and some paved roads across the plain. Birding should be done from the roads (except the main road crossing the plain) because all the surrounding fields are private agricultural land. If you stay near the car, parking on most of the roads is no problem. If you leave a car, only park it in places where you don't block access to the fields.
