Geflügelmastanlagen und Kiesgrube Oppin

Sachsen-Anhalt  >  Germany

Unconventional birding spot, that can at first seem very unwelcoming, but harbours one of the area's last breeding sites of Kuifleeuwerik.

Beschrijving

The Geflügelmastanlagen und Kiesgrube Oppin area is characterised by industrial use. Gravel and sand pits and storage, and, in dark irony for a birding website: industrial poultry production sites. It is surrounded by agricultural land and to the west some uncultivated grassland.

The poultry buildings are fenced off and the vegetation is kept short. This seems to be one of the reasons why Kuifleeuwerik breeds here. In the bushes along the roadside Ringmus, Grasmus, Grauwe Gors and Kneu can be observed. In the fields around the site Gele Kwikstaart, Fazant and Veldleeuwerik are a regular sight. During migration Tapuit and Kleine Plevier visit the barren gravel areas.

Note: The premises of the companies in the area can not be entered under any circumstances! It is only possilbe to watch from the outside. Therefore binoculars or even a scope are recommended.

On the way to the poultry premises from the parking spot on the map, keep your eyes open for overflying Bijeneter, Torenvalk and other birds of prey.
