Rate birdingplace Labe Floodgate near Střekov
Descrição
The southern part of Ústí nad Labem, featuring the Střekov floodgate located below Střekov Castle, is a great stationary (or short walk) birding spot, especially for waterfowl. The river Labe widens here and the floodgate bridge offers perching spots right in the middle of the river stream.
On the eastern side, a cycle path runs right along the riverbank beneath the castle remains, connecting the city to the outskirts. Besides the flowing river surrounded by scattered patches of forest, the castle hill offers access to a forest with a viewpoint, reachable in about 30 minutes on foot.
Throughout most of the year, this area hosts Corvo-marinho-de-faces-brancas and various gull species, including Guincho-comum and Gaivota-parda. Pato-real and Cisne-vulgar can be spotted on the river, and with some luck you could also distinguish Merganso-grande. If you decide to stroll around into grassy areas instead, you'll encounter a range of corvids: Pega-rabuda, Gralha-cinzenta and Gralha-preta, Gralha-calva and Corvo alongside many songbirds – alvéola-branca, Rabirruivo-preto or Chapim-azul and chapim-real.
