Descrição
Located in the middle of the huge urban industrial area of the port of Hamburg, the Holzhafen was reconnected to the tidal river Elbe only in 2013 as a compensation area for the expansion of the motorway. Therefore the area is one of the most important wetlands in Hamburg. Depending on the time and season you can expect a great variety of waterbirds of all kind. Especially during migration season several species of ducks can be seen (especially Marrequinha-comum, Pato-trombeteiro and Pato-branco in good numbers). Some days in spring see dozens of gulls (all species, including Gaivota-de-cabeça-preta which breeds close by) and terns feeding from the water, Andorinha-do-mar-anã and Gaivina-de-bico-vermelho are recorded. The adjacent bushy areas and reed belts used to be good spots to search for passerines as Pisco-de-peito-azul. falcão-peregrino breeds in a nearby power pole and Águia-pesqueira is a reguar guests. Also different species of waders can be observed in smaller numbers.
