Beschrijving

About 150 species have so far been recorded in this tiny nature reserve. Bir länge Stude is part of the Grosses Moos in the north of Lake Neuchâtel. It consists of a south-facing slope with semi-dry meadows (1), richly structured hedges (2) and a restored gravel pit (3). At the foot of the slope, some ponds have been created for amphibians (4); a small, ecologically managed vineyard (5) is cultivated here on a voluntary basis.

The typical birds of these habitats, which have become rare elsewhere, include Grasmus, Nachtegaal, Grauwe Klauwier, Paapje, Gekraagde Roodstaart and Roodborsttapuit. The orchard trees provide food for Draaihals. Especially in the tree groups lower down (6) you’ll find Zomertortel and Wielewaal. One of the main target species of conservation efforts here is the Grauwe Gors, which has one of its last refuges in Switzerland in the Grosses Moos. Somewhat less frequently, Sprinkhaanzanger, Braamsluiper and Kwartel are also seen. Noteworthy too is the large colony of Oeverzwaluw in the restored gravel pit. From there, the call of the Bijeneter has been heard repeatedly - so far probably only from migrating individuals.

During spring migration, rare relatives of the habitat’s typical resident species turn up again and again: Kortteenleeuwerik, Ortolaan, Roze Spreeuw, and most recently a Roodkopklauwier have been sighted. Velduil and Roodpootvalk have also already stopped over in the area.
