Description
The Döllnitzsee is an artificial lake close to the village of Wermsdorf. In winter many ducks, geese, grebes and veliki žagar stay here. Also in spring and during spring migration many nice birds can be observed. in summer there are significantly fewer birds to be seen. You might want to skip the area then. But the best time for a visit is during the autumn migration. Especially the small lagoon in the northwest part of the lake is a magnet for birds. Depending on the water level a surprising number of waders can show up from mid-August to October. Among the waders that can be seen here in this period are močvirski martinec, togotnik, črni martinec, zelenonogi martinec, mali martinec, pikasti martinec, komatni deževnik, kozica, srpokljuni prodnik and spremenljivi prodnik. Sometimes also Temminckov prodnik, mali prodnik and peščenec.
