Descrição
The Wittenborner Heide is a nature reserve covering approximately 294 hectares. It features a diverse landscape, including dunes, dry grasslands, moors, and woodlands. The area is accessible via a good network of paths and is not overcrowded.
There is a high density of breeding and migratory birds of prey, such as the Águia-rabalva and Bútio-vespeiro. These birds of prey can sometimes be seen foraging over the heathland. Another large part of the reserve consists of a forest, where, for example, the Pica-pau-verde, Pica-pau-preto and the rare Galinhola breed. Ground-nesting birds of the heathland include Cotovia-pequena and Petinha-das-árvores. In addition, many different bird species rest here during migration or can be observed during migration. Many of the bird species listed in the birdlist below can only be observed during migration, such as Abibe-comum and Maçarico-real.
