Beschrijving
Gedenkstätte Stresow is a little memorial of World War II located in the Wendland in midst of a lot of nature. Right next to the memorial is a small lake, where you can often see Nonnetje, Grote Zaagbek and several species of duck in Winter.
A few hundred meters futher there is an observation tower with a nice view over the partially flooded meadows and small bodies of water. In winter they are getting used as a wintering and migration place for thousands of ducks and geese such as Pijlstaart, Brilduiker, Smient, Krakeend, Wintertaling, Zomertaling, Slobeend, Tafeleend, Kuifeend, Bergeend, Brandgans, Kolgans, Taigarietgans and Wilde Zwaan. If you are lucky than you can spot a Klapekster in the bushes.
During migration times many waders visit the area. You can observe Kievit, Bonte Strandloper, Bontbekplevier, Kleine Plevier, Wulp, Grutto, Oeverloper, Watersnip, Bosruiter, Witgat, Zwarte Ruiter, Tureluur, Groenpootruiter and sometimes Kemphaan. On the water bodies you can sometimes spot grebes such as Roodhalsfuut or Dodaars or see a IJsvogel.
For a better look there is a route on the dike through the meadows so you can see the whole area from different sides. In the summer there are many swallows and Kraanvogel , herons and Ooievaar. Blauwe Reiger and Grote Zilverreiger are not uncommon, with a bit of luck you even can see a pair of Zwarte Ooievaar.
From the power poles, the bushes and out of the reed you can hear the songs of Rietgors, Grauwe Gors, Geelgors, Grasmus, Rietzanger, Kleine Karekiet, Grote Karekiet, Paapje, Roodborsttapuit, Veldleeuwerik and see for example Grauwe Klauwier or Gele Kwikstaart.
Over the whole year you can spot many different birds of prey. From the observation tower you can see Bruine Kiekendief flying over the reed beds, in the whole area Buizerd, Rode Wouw and Torenvalk are not uncommon. On very good days you can even see a Slechtvalk or Wespendief. Also often seen are Zwarte Wouw, Blauwe Kiekendief and Visarend and sometimes more down by the river Aland in the trees sit one or two Zeearend.
