Description
The Langwieser See is a small lake. The lake itself isn't very good for birding, but sometimes you can spot Isfugl there. In the reed area about 100 meters east of the lake, in winter you can see for example Sivspurv and sometimes also Vannrikse. In summer it's full of Rørsanger. West to the lake, there are nice water reservoirs, which in winter often contain Kvartbekkasin (best to spot with a thermal imaging camera), and sometimes Enkeltbekkasin.
South to the reservoirs, there is a smal bush land with Gulspurv, Stillits and in winter often Bjørkefink. In the gardens and trees along the small stream you can find Grønnsisik in winter and Rødstjert and Tornsanger in summer. Sometimes you can also hear a Sørnattergal here.
Very good are the fields around the whole area. During migration you can see Heipiplerke, Myrsanger, Svartstrupe (sometimes also staying over winter), Hønsehauk, Steinskvett, Gulerle, Møller and rarely Vendehals, Vipe and Myrhauk. All year round you will find Tornirisk, Sanglerke, Gråhegre and Tårnfalk. Sometimes you can also see Rapphøne, Spurvehauk or Vandrefalk.
