Opis
The Weiherwald offers a great range of habitats (mixed alluvial woodland, shallow ponds, streams, ditches, meadows, gardens), all in a very small area and close to an urban environment. It is very accessible with paths for pedestrians and cyclists transecting the area. These paths have two benefits: they makes bird observations easy and also mean that the birds are not too shy. A circular walk of the location covers all the habitats mentioned above, with many variations and little detours possible.
There is a notable population of 20 or more cyraneczka present here in winter (and well into spring).
The Weiherwald is great for observing and hearing Woodpeckers, with five species possible all year round: dzięcioł średni , dzięcioł duży and dzięcioł zielony are common here and there is always a chance of dzięcioł czarny and dzięciołek, especially in winter.
The shallow ponds and ditches attract zimorodek, which can be seen fishing or flying from one area of water to another. pliszka górska are sometimes present, foraging along the water's edges.
Small flocks of raniuszek zwyczajny often roam the area, along with czyż, grubodziób and the occasional droździk in winter.
Late spring is a great time to listen to wilga (zwyczajna), słowik rdzawy and piecuszek. With a bit of luck muchołówka żałobna can also be seen.
Other birds present all year round include zniczek, kowalik, pełzacz ogrodowy and sikora uboga.
In addition to the fantastic birdlife, the Weiherwald is also a hotspot for many (rare) amphibians and insects. No matter what time of year or day, there's always something to enjoy here!
