Waders stop at the Holzendorfer See during the spring and autumn migration. Maybe not in huge numbers, but there is a large species diversity: Bătăuș, Nagâț, Fluierar cu picioare verzi, Fluierar negru, Fluierar cu picioare roșii, Fluierar de mlaștină, Fluierar de munte, Fluierar de zăvoi, Fugaci de țărm, Fugaci roșcat, Fugaci mic, Fugaci pitic, Prundăraș gulerat mare and Becațină comună. There is a chance for rarer species like Prundăraș de nămol, Fugaci mare and Nisipar. Also observed here are Fugaci pătat and Nagâț cu coadă albă. In the spring, all the "spring" ducks also stop here: Rață lingurar, Rață sulițar, Rață cârâitoare, Rață mică and Rață fluierătoare. In late autumn you can meet here a large number of Cocor and Lebădă de iarnă. During the breeding season Nagâț, Chiră de baltă, Prundăraș gulerat mic and Gâscă de vară nest here.
