Beschrijving
Seeburger See is a shallow 86.5-hectare lake fed in the west by the Aue creek at Seeburg and drained to the east in Bernshausen by the same creek. The lake is the largest natural body of water in the Göttingen district. It is bordered in places by reed beds and elsewhere by trees and grasslands. The surrounding land is mostly agricultural and there is a recreational area with swimming facilities near Seeburg. A large part of the lake's shoreline is a nature reserve. Although the lake is a popular tourist destination the birding can be very rewarding, especially in winter and spring. For the usually long distances, a spotting scope at Lake Seeburg is a great advantage.
In winter you can observe many species of ducks and Grote Zaagbek, Brilduiker and Nonnetje. But also more rare ducks like Topper, Grote Zee-eend, and IJseend can be spotted. Every now and then divers like Roodkeelduiker, IJsduiker or Parelduiker appear in winter.
In spring or summer you can observe birds like Zomertaling, Slobeend, Geoorde Fuut, Fuut, Dodaars, Waterral, Zwarte Stern, Dwergmeeuw, Ooievaar, Bruine Kiekendief, Rode Wouw, IJsvogel, Bosrietzanger, Grote Karekiet, Rietgors, Snor, Nachtegaal and Blauwborst.
