Description
The pond of Rixdorfer Teich is popular with typical urban birds like Ополовник, Зарянка and Сойка, as well as waterfowl like Лебедь-шипун, Мандаринка and Камышница.
Some of the usual Большая синица are very used to humans and will even take seeds from the hand. There is a family of Канюк that live in the park, and one or two are usually hanging around in the trees near the pond. In summer many Деревенская ласточка circle over the pond, and in autumn and winter there are always lots of Черноголовый щегол in the alders next to the pond.
