Beschrijving
Old Laxenburg Castle became a Habsburg possession in 1333. After 1780, the castle garden was rearranged as an English landscape garden. It contains an artificial pond with several partly not accessible islands. One island accommodates a huge colony of Blauwe Reiger .
There are a lot of old trees and several species of woodpecker can easily be found. Most resident species have short flight distances. Common are Middelste Bonte Specht, Grote Bonte Specht, Groene Specht, Zwarte Specht and Kleine Bonte Specht . But also Grijskopspecht occurs and even Syrische Bonte Specht and Witrugspecht were allready observed. Along with all those woodpeckers comes a variety of cavity-nesting birds as for instance Tits and Spreeuw. In two groups of old plane trees exist quite sizeable breeding-colonies of Kauw. Other regularly occuring species during breeding season are Koekoek, Holenduif and Wielewaal.
Year round Grote Zaagbek, Blauwe Reiger, Aalscholver andIJsvogel can be observed.
During winter the park gives home to Grote Zilverreiger, Kuifeend, Ransuil and a lot of singing birds such as different species of thrushes or finches.
