Description
The Blankensee can be overlooked best from a boardwalk near the village of the same name. Close views of fúzatka trstinová and trsteniarik bahenný, with luck also kúdeľníčka lužná, are possible from the boardwalk (no scope needed). bučiak veľký is often seen flying out of the reeds near the boardwalk, especially in winter. An occupied kršiak rybár nest can be seen from the boardwalk in summer.
Thousands of ducks and geese are on the lake in winter. potápač malý, potápač veľký and hlaholka severská give good views. Others are chochlačka sivá, chochlačka vrkočatá, kačica hvizdárka and kačica chripľavka. orliak morský is regularly seen. The most common large gull is čajka bielohlavá.
May is the month for čorík čierny. With luck you can get čorík bielokrídly and čorík bahenný, too. Other good birds in spring are potápka čiernokrká, kačica ostrochvostá and big flocks of swallows.
Walking through the village (kanárik poľný, bocian biely), make sure to have a look for rybárik riečny 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 hlaholka severská, potápka malá and potápka červenokrká. From the tower you overlook the wetlands of the Ungeheuerwiesen. A breeding kršiak rybár, cibík chochlatý, močiarnica mekotavá and with luck dudok chochlatý can be seen. In winter žeriav popolavý, kulík zlatý and northern geese are typical species. strakoš veľký is regurlarly seen in the open winter landscape.
