Description
At the Hagenburger canal you can see many ducks in winter and autumn. Especially at the point where the canal floats into the Steinhuder Meer. Among the ducks you can expect are konopnica, žličarica, žvižgavka, mlakarica, dolgorepa raca, sivka, kostanjevka and čopasta črnica. In spring you can find warblers like trstni cvrčalec, rečni cvrčalec, rakar, močvirska trstnica and srpična trstnica. And this is also one of the best spots for vodomec. You can find many songbirds like čižek, cikovt, črnoglavi muhar, modra taščica and trstni strnad.
At the mouth of the canal you can find especially in May some other waterbirds like črna čigra, navadna čigra and with some luck rarities like kričava cigra ,kaspijska čigra or belolična čigra.
