Descrição
Mooswald and Mooswaldseen consist of the old (eastern) and the new (western) lake Mooswaldsee, a few other quarry lakes, a birch forest, reed areas and it borders directly on the meadow areas of the Leipheimer Moos (also described on Birdingplaces). Many exciting bird species live here in a very small area. In the forest you can regularly observe 7 native species of woodpeckers (Pica-pau-malhado-grande, Pica-pau-mediano, Pica-pau-malhado-pequeno, Pica-pau-verde, Pica-pau-cinzento, Pica-pau-preto, Torcicolo), plus lots of songbirds like Papa-figos and Papa-moscas-de-colar, but also larger birds like Corvo and Cuco-canoro.
A Guincho-comum colony is located at the old Mooswaldsee, but bigger gulls like Gaivota-de-patas-amarelas are also usually there. You can easily observe them from a small observation hide. In addition, an escaped Chilean flamingo has been seen here again and again for several years. At the new Mooswaldsee there is an observation tower with a free telescope attached, through which you can observe various species of ducks and geese. Waders like Borrelho-pequeno-de-coleira, Combatente and Pássaro-bique-bique are also not uncommon there.
In the reed areas around the lake you can often hear Pisco-de-peito-azul, Felosa-dos-juncos, Rouxinol-grande-dos-caniços, rouxinol-dos-caniços, Felosa-unicolor and Escrevedeira-dos-caniços. Bushes around the lakes have Felosa-palustre, Rouxinol-comum, Cartaxo-comum and Chapim-de-faces-pretas. And there are also plenty of birds of prey: Águia-pesqueira, Tartaranhão-ruivo-dos-pauis and Ógea, in winter also Coruja-do-nabal and Tartaranhão-azulado, hunt here.
The area is definitely worth a visit, also because extreme rarities are repeatedly reported.
