Beschrijving
NSG Salbruch is a diverse nature reservoir along the Niers river. Around Clörather Mühle some ponds have been created in the former river bed of the Niers, which has been straightened in the early 20th century. In the summer a pair of Ooievaar breeds regularly next to the old water mill. Many other birds, such as Scholekster, several specias of ducks and other waterfowl (Krakeend, Wilde Eend, Meerkoet, Dodaars, Waterhoen) , and many songbirds (most notably Roodborsttapuit, Grasmus, Tuinfluiter, Wielewaal) breed or stay the summer in this area, which contains different habitats of ponds and wetlands, greenland with hedges and small groups of trees, smaller forested areas and a former quarry pond. It's a good area to look out for birds of prey, such has Buizerd, Torenvalk, Rode Wouw, Bruine Kiekendief, Zwarte Wouw, Havik, Sperwer, Boomvalk during summer and Blauwe Kiekendief during winter. Along the Niers river you can search for a hunting IJsvogel. During migration season, many resting birds can be observed. Typical species are Watersnip, Groenpootruiter, Bosruiter, Witgat, Kleine Plevier, Kemphaan and others. Best location to watch these migratory birds are the ponds at Clörather Mühle and the Damoklesteich (the small pond at the end of a dirt road behind the old water mill). During winter many resting waterfowl can be seen on the quarry lake Rahserbruch and on the ponds at the Clörather Mühle. These contain many ducks such as Wintertaling , Slobeend, Smient or Kuifeend.
