Description
The 375 ha large wetland reserve Schlammwiss in Uebersyren is an important migratory stopover for a great amount of birds, which use the wetlands to refill their reserves. The area has marshes, patches of forest, agricultural lands and orchards and Schlammwiss has with almost 20 hectares one of the biggest reed banks in Luxembourg.
The main bird species using the reed banks are Тростниковая камышевка, Болотная камышевка and Тростниковая овсянка. Beside the breeding birds the reed banks are a stopover place for Варакушка, Обыкновенный ремез, Усатая синица, Соловьиный сверчок, Дроздовидная камышевка, Камышевка-барсучок and Вертлявая камышевка. In the open areas between the reedbeds and the surrounding farms you can find birds like Черноголовый чекан, Обыкновенный жулан, Черноголовый щегол, Серая славка and Обыкновенный сверчок and during migration Перепел, Луговой чекан and Каменка.
About 40.000 Деревенская ласточка with Береговушка arrive every year around August-September in the reed banks of Schlammwiss and create a natural spectacle that attracts predators like Чеглок, Сапсан, Перепелятник and some owls. Futhermore big groups of Обыкновенный скворец - about 20.000 each year - and Горный конёк – about 100 each year – are using the reeds as sleeping or over wintering place too. As well small groups of Белая трясогузка, Жёлтая трясогузка and Обыкновенная овсянка are using the reed as sleeping place.
