Descrição
The Düdinger Moos or, in French, Marais de Guin, is located near the motorway. The visit should therefore take place at times when the A12 is less busy. It consists of several ponds, which are interesting for amphibian lovers, and a larger pond with a high observation tower from where you can see a reed bed, as well as some surrounding hedges and woods. This is the best place for birdwatching.
The Düdinger Moos is situated on the border of the distribution range of birds such as Papa-amoras-comum, Picanço-de-dorso-ruivo , and Papa-figos which no longer occur at higher altitudes towards the foothills of the Alps. In the reed beds you can hear reed warblers, including the Rouxinol-grande-dos-caniços, and with a lot of luck you can observe Felosa-unicolor, Socó-taquari and Garça-pequena. The characteristic cry of the Frango-d'água can be heard regularly, as can melodious call of the Pica-pau-preto in the neighbouring woods. Guarda-rios-comum, Marreco and Pato-trombeteiro can be reliably observed.
Rare sightings include Falcão-de-pés-vermelhos, Franga-d'água-grande, and Abetouro-comum. While early morning is generally the best time to observe, the afternoon is good for watching birds of prey, and in the evening light, mixed flocks of Andorinho-dos-beirais and Andorinha-das-chaminés hunt over the water and around the observation tower.
Detalhes
Acesso
The Düdinger Moos can be reached from Düdingen railway station in twenty minutes on foot or by bike. The path leads through a charming and largely ecologically managed agricultural landscape, which is well worth a look through binoculars. If absolutely necessary, the place can also be reached by car. There is a designated free parking for four to five cars. The path is easy and should also be wheelchair-accessible despite slight differences in height.

Gilles Hauser provides an insightful account of the place in "Les Bons Coins ornithologues de Suisse romande", a book worth recommending, but currently only available in French and - as of january 2025 - apparently out of print.
