At the Hagenburger canal you can see many ducks in winter and autumn. Especially at the point where the canal floats into the Steinhuder Meer. Among the ducks you can expect are Krakeend, Slobeend, Smient, Wilde Eend, Pijlstaart, Tafeleend, Witoogeend and Kuifeend. In spring you can find warblers like Snor, Krekelzanger, Grote Karekiet, Bosrietzanger and Kleine Karekiet. And this is also one of the best spots for IJsvogel. You can find many songbirds like Sijs, Zanglijster, Bonte Vliegenvanger, Blauwborst and Rietgors.
At the mouth of the canal you can find especially in May some other waterbirds like Zwarte Stern, Visdief and with some luck rarities like Grote Stern ,Reuzenstern or Witwangstern.
