Descrição
The 375 ha large wetland reserve Schlammwiss in Uebersyren is an important migratory stopover for a great amount of birds, which use the wetlands to refill their reserves. The area has marshes, patches of forest, agricultural lands and orchards and Schlammwiss has with almost 20 hectares one of the biggest reed banks in Luxembourg.
The main bird species using the reed banks are rouxinol-dos-caniços, Felosa-palustre and Escrevedeira-dos-caniços. Beside the breeding birds the reed banks are a stopover place for Pisco-de-peito-azul, Chapim-de-faces-pretas, Chapim-de-bigode, Felosa-unicolor, Rouxinol-grande-dos-caniços, Felosa-dos-juncos and Felosa-aquática. In the open areas between the reedbeds and the surrounding farms you can find birds like Cartaxo-comum, Picanço-de-dorso-ruivo, Pintassilgo, Papa-amoras-comum and Felosa-malhada and during migration Codorniz, Cartaxo-nortenho and Chasco-cinzento.
About 40.000 Andorinha-das-chaminés with Andorinha-das-barreiras arrive every year around August-September in the reed banks of Schlammwiss and create a natural spectacle that attracts predators like Ógea, falcão-peregrino, Gavião da Europa and some owls. Futhermore big groups of Estorninho-malhado - about 20.000 each year - and Petinha-ribeirinha – about 100 each year – are using the reeds as sleeping or over wintering place too. As well small groups of alvéola-branca, alvéola-amarela and Escrevedeira-amarela are using the reed as sleeping place.
