Beschrijving
The 375 ha large wetland reserve Schlammwiss in Uebersyren is an important migratory stopover for a great amount of birds, which use the wetlands to refill their reserves. The area has marshes, patches of forest, agricultural lands and orchards and Schlammwiss has with almost 20 hectares one of the biggest reed banks in Luxembourg.
The main bird species using the reed banks are Kleine Karekiet, Bosrietzanger and Rietgors. Beside the breeding birds the reed banks are a stopover place for Blauwborst, Buidelmees, Baardman, Snor, Grote Karekiet, Rietzanger and Waterrietzanger. In the open areas between the reedbeds and the surrounding farms you can find birds like Roodborsttapuit, Grauwe Klauwier, Putter, Grasmus and Sprinkhaanzanger and during migration Kwartel, Paapje and Tapuit.
About 40.000 Boerenzwaluw with Oeverzwaluw arrive every year around August-September in the reed banks of Schlammwiss and create a natural spectacle that attracts predators like Boomvalk, Slechtvalk, Sperwer and some owls. Futhermore big groups of Spreeuw - about 20.000 each year - and Waterpieper – about 100 each year – are using the reeds as sleeping or over wintering place too. As well small groups of Witte Kwikstaart, Gele Kwikstaart and Geelgors are using the reed as sleeping place.
