Description

With its width the area offers an impressive contrast to the city landscape of Berlin. The nature reserve and its surroundings hold a good population of Каменка. In recent years also some pairs of Полевой жаворонок, Серая славка and Коноплянка were recorded. The increasing settlement pressure has probably led to the disappearance of Просянка and Обыкновенный жулан as breeding birds but there are still regular records. Around the area of the campus to the south, there were still isolated territories of Хохлатый жаворонок and even Полевой конёк in recent years.

Extra info

You should allow some time to stroll around the southern campus of the Humboldt University. Architecturally, the area around the Aerodynamic Park is particularly worth a visit; ornithologically, the ever decreasing open spaces are of particular interest. Keep an eye (and ear) open for Хохлатый жаворонок, Полевой конёк, Зелёный дятел, Южный соловей or Серая славка.
