Beschrijving
The Altrhein Kleiner Bodensee is a meander cutoff of the river Rhine and a nature reserve. The neighbouring lake (gravel pit), Alb stream and mixed woodland complete the rich array of habitats. Throughout the year, various wetland birds can be seen on the waterbodies: Wilde Eend, Fuut, Wintertaling, Krakeend, Geelpootmeeuw and Aalscholver (including a sizeable nesting colony) are present for most of the year.
In winter, small groups of Kuifeend, Brilduiker and Slobeend can also be seen. In late spring and summer Visdief and Zwarte Wouw can be seen over / near the lake. In spring and summer, the surrounding woodlands and lakeside undergrowth are home to a number of interesting species. Both Grauwe Vliegenvanger and Bonte Vliegenvanger can be heard and observed here. With a bit of luck, you might be treated to the otherworldly techno-style song and a glimpse of an Spotvogel.
The surrounding woodland is also a great place to observe woodpeckers. With luck and patience it is possible to observe Grote Bonte Specht, Middelste Bonte Specht, Kleine Bonte Specht, Groene Specht, Grijskopspecht and Zwarte Specht.
