Beschrijving
The nature reserve of Rümlandteich und Methorstteich is a beautiful area to observe water and forest bird species. You can make larger and smaller walks via hiking trails. Both ponds are drained temporarily (especially in autumn/winter) and then offer particularly interesting observation opportunities (wading birds, wintering Waterpieper). Zeearend breed here and can be observed regularly. Roerdomp occasionally call in the reed belt of the Rümlandteich. In the adjacent forest areas, all species of woodpecker are found ( Zwarte Specht, Groene Specht, Grote Bonte Specht, Middelste Bonte Specht and Kleine Bonte Specht), as well as Oehoe, Boomvalk, Wespendief, Bonte Vliegenvanger and, in some years, Kleine Vliegenvanger. In the winter months, many Wilde Zwaan often stay here during the day. Both bodies of water are also home to 200 Wilde Zwaan and Kleine Zwaan and up to 800 Kolgans and Toendrarietgans. In the adjacent grassland you can observe Klapekster, Blauwe Kiekendief and many geese in winter.
