Opis
The Steinhorster Becken is a fairly recent, human-made, nature reserve consisting of a mosaic of habitats, like reedbeds, freshwater ponds with islands and wetlands. The area serves as both resting and foraging for many species of bird.
In winter, the area is great for observing ducks, geese and herons, like czernica, Płaskonos, bernikla białolica, gęś białoczelna, czapla siwa and czapla biała. The ponds are also a great place to observe nurogęś.
In spring, the area is used by żuraw to rest when migrating northwards to their breeding grounds. Other migrating species that often can be found here are rybołów, bocian czarny and sokół wędrowny. The area is also home to many breeding species, like śmieszka, czajka, perkoz dwuczuby and kulik wielki. From 2010 on, the area is also home to a breeding pair of bocian biały.
