Beschrijving
Although nearly 200 bird species have been recorded here, those two Lacken (alkaline ponds) are not mentioned in major birdwatching guides to the Seewinkel (such as those by Christoph Roland or Leander Khil), likely because the region boasts many even more attractive sites.
Still, the two Lacken described here are worth visiting. They have yielded notable sightings including Poelruiter, Gestreepte Strandloper, Rotgans, Roodhalsgans, Lachstern, and even a Steppekievit. The variable water levels create broad silting zones that attract numerous waders such as Wulp, Tureluur, Bonte Strandloper, and others during migration.
Geese and ducks like Smient, Bergeend, and Grauwe Gans are regulars, and in autumn or winter, Kolgans and occasionally Dwerggans can be found feeding in nearby fields. The surrounding fields and scrub also support breeding Grauwe Klauwier, Grasmus, and possibly even Sperwergrasmus, while Roodkeelpieper appear regularly in autumn and Klapekster stays for the winter.
Best viewing is from the south for Ochsenbrunnenlacke and from the southeast (in evening light) for Birnbaumlacke.
