Descrição
The Eschefelder Teiche are a nature reserve located 30 km south of Leipzig. The area consists of 8 ponds and covers an area of 270 hectares. The ponds were artificially created in the 18th century for fishing. The largest pond is the pond near Eschefeld. The ponds are an important feeding, breeding and resting area for numerous waterfowl species. The surrounding area is mainly used for agriculture. On the edge of the large pond there is the Naturschutzstation (nature conservation station) Teichhaus. It is run by NABU (BirdLife Germany) and also has a restaurant. On the banks of the large pond on the artificially created dam you can find a bird hide.
The area has a Guincho-comum colony on the largest of the 8 lakes. In the noisy colony Mergulhão-de-pescoço-preto and Gaivota-de-cabeça-preta also find shelter. The most important breeding birds include Abetouro-comum and Garça-pequena, Tartaranhão-ruivo-dos-pauis, Rouxinol-grande-dos-caniços, Chapim-de-faces-pretas, Chapim-de-bigode, Rouxinol-comum and Pisco-de-peito-azul. All these species are best observed between April and early June. Depending on the season ducks like Marreco, Pato-de-bico-vermelho, Pato-olho-d'ouro, Merganso-grande, Pato-trombeteiro, Pato-branco and Arrabio can be seen.
During migration periods, other species arrive. Águia-pesqueira and Águia-rabalva are regular guests who prey on food in the waters. There are also Gaivina-preta as well as Gaivota-pequena. Another interesting group during migration is resting waders. These include Abibe-comum, Borrelho-pequeno-de-coleira, Borrelho-grande-de-coleira, Narceja-comum, Perna-verde-comum, Maçarico-das-rochas, Maçarico-bastardo, Perna-vermelha-comum and Combatente.
