Descrição
The small river Selz has been renaturalised at this reserve and European Beavers have recolonised as well. Along with an area of flooded marshes, reedbeds, ponds, grassland and scattered riverine woodland, some regionally scarce breeders are present and over the years a wide variety of passage and winter birds have been recorded. Over 200 species are now on the reserve list. A concerted effort in Spring on a good day can produce 70 species at the reserve and along the river.
The main attraction for most will be spring and summer reedbed visitors, such as Pisco-de-peito-azul, Felosa-unicolor and Tartaranhão-ruivo-dos-pauis. Rouxinol-grande-dos-caniços has become more regular. Chapim-de-bigode appears on passage and in some years has stayed to breed. Chapim-de-faces-pretas has bred but nowadays is generally a scarce migrant. There is a Garça-real colony and scarcer relatives such as Socó-taquari, Garça-branca-pequena, Garça-pequena, Garça-roxa and Abetouro-comum have all been recorded in recent years, some regularly.
Passage waders can be found on the pools or flooded grasslands, but this is heavily dependent on weather and water level conditions. More regular are Pássaro-bique-bique, Maçarico-bastardo, Maçarico-das-rochas and Perna-verde-comum. Perna-vermelha-comum, Pilrito-comum, Borrelho-pequeno-de-coleira, Borrelho-grande-de-coleira, Combatente and Perna-vermelha-escuro are no longer regular but also possible. Local scarcities such as Maçarico-de-bico-direito, Alfaiate, Maçarico-galego, Pilrito-de-bico-comprido, Pilrito de Temminck and even Falaropo-de-bico-grosso have all been recorded here and along the river. Tarambola-dourada and Borrelho-ruivo have been recorded migrating overhead on occasion.
Grou-comum, Cegonha-preta and Cegonha-branca are regular visitors, and the latter has started to breed. The woodlands hold good numbers of Rouxinol-comum and Papa-figos. Pica-pau-mediano has recently colonised the area. In adjacent meadows and scrub Picanço-de-dorso-ruivo, Cartaxo-comum, alvéola-amarela and Trigueirão can be found on passage and breeding. Mocho-galego and Bufo-pequeno breed, as does Ógea, Milhafre-real and Milhafre-preto.
Wildfowl numbers, mostly dabbing ducks, build up modestly in Spring and Autumn with Marrequinha-comum, Pato-real, and Frisada being the most easily encountered. Visibility can be a challenge with reeds obscuring the pools, so try using a scope from higher ground. In most winters, singles or low numbers of wild geese are recorded among the resident groups of Ganso-comum, the most regular being Ganso-grande-de-testa-branca, followed by Tundra Bean Goose. A Cisne-bravo was a recent and unusual overwinterer. Petinha-ribeirinha is regular on passage and sometimes winter.
Detalhes
Acesso
Limited free parking is available at a couple of small paved areas next to the L432 between Hahnheim and Sörgenloch. This road is also on a bus-route (652) with the nearest bus-stop at Wahlheimer Hof to the east of the reserve, or alternatively at Sörgenloch to the west. A path, paved only on most of the southern side, circumvents the pools, grassland, and reedbeds. Cycling this part of the southern edge is possible, but other stretches are often high grass (beware of ticks) and can be muddy depending on conditions. An official paved cycling route veers west of the reserve when at the south-western corner but returns to the Selz shortly afterwards. Beaver activity and excessive rain sometimes causes extensive localised flooding.
