Description

Mülimatt Obstgarten is not a very large area, but very rich in species. Sometimes there are up to two Capîntortură singing here. It also has several Codroș de pădure breeding pairs and two Mărăcinar negru pairs. In addition, Presură bărboasă, Silvie de câmp and Mărăcinar mare can be observed regularly. The migration of birds of prey is quite strong in both spring and autumn, and Viespar and Barză neagră sometimes pass through here. Grangur can be heard singing in the nearby forest.
