Description
The Blankensee can be overlooked best from a boardwalk near the village of the same name. Close views of Усатая синица and Тростниковая камышевка, with luck also Обыкновенный ремез, are possible from the boardwalk (no scope needed). Большая выпь is often seen flying out of the reeds near the boardwalk, especially in winter. An occupied Скопа nest can be seen from the boardwalk in summer.
Thousands of ducks and geese are on the lake in winter. Луток, Большой крохаль and Гоголь give good views. Others are Красноголовый нырок, Хохлатая чернеть, Свиязь and Серая утка. Орлан-белохвост is regularly seen. The most common large gull is Хохотунья.
May is the month for Чёрная крачка. With luck you can get Белокрылая крачка and Белощекая крачка, too. Other good birds in spring are Черношейная поганка, Шилохвость and big flocks of swallows.
Walking through the village (Европейский вьюрок, Белый аист), make sure to have a look for Обыкновенный зимородок along the river Nieplitz.
On the walk to the tower in the north you pass the small lake Seechen (diminutive of lake "See"). Chances are good for Гоголь, Малая поганка and Серощекая поганка. From the tower you overlook the wetlands of the Ungeheuerwiesen. A breeding Скопа, Чибис, Бекас and with luck Удод can be seen. In winter Серый журавль, Золотистая ржанка and northern geese are typical species. Серый сорокопут is regurlarly seen in the open winter landscape.
