Description
Kuhgrabensee is a protected European bird sanctuary. The lake offers habitat to many pioneer plants, dragonflies, amphibians and birds. The Kuhgrabensee is the breeding ground of many birds, such as Чомга and Обыкновенный зимородок. From autumn onwards, an abundance of birds can be found on the lake. Then it is home to numerous ducks, geese and other water birds for several months. Among the birds you can observe are Орлан-белохвост, Скопа, Лысуха, Широконоска, Свиязь, Гоголь, Камышевка-барсучок, Варакушка, Полевой жаворонок, Славка-черноголовка, Серая славка, Пустельга обыкновенная and Болотный лунь.
During the breeding season good observations of the young Обыкновенный зимородок that have just fledged are possible near the bird hide. Many other birds can also be found in the adjacent meadows of the Polder Oberblockland.
