Description
The Blankensee can be overlooked best from a boardwalk near the village of the same name. Close views of Skjeggmeis and Rørsanger, with luck also Pungmeis, are possible from the boardwalk (no scope needed). Rørdrum is often seen flying out of the reeds near the boardwalk, especially in winter. An occupied Fiskeørn nest can be seen from the boardwalk in summer.
Thousands of ducks and geese are on the lake in winter. Lappfiskand, Laksand and Kvinand give good views. Others are Taffeland, Toppand, Brunnakke and Snadderand. Havørn is regularly seen. The most common large gull is Kaspimåke.
May is the month for Svartterne. With luck you can get Hvitvingesvartterne and Hvitkinnsvartterne, too. Other good birds in spring are Svarthalsdykker, Stjertand and big flocks of swallows.
Walking through the village (Gulirisk, Stork), make sure to have a look for Isfugl along the river Nieplitz.
On the walk to the tower in the north you pass the small lake Seechen (diminutive of lake "See"). Chances are good for Kvinand, Dvergdykker and Gråstrupedykker. From the tower you overlook the wetlands of the Ungeheuerwiesen. A breeding Fiskeørn, Vipe, Enkeltbekkasin and with luck Hærfugl can be seen. In winter Trane, Heilo and northern geese are typical species. Varsler is regurlarly seen in the open winter landscape.
