Description

The Neolith Teich belongs to the Middle Elbe Biosphere Reserve and is about 107 hectares in size. The banks of the pond, which is actually more of a small lake, are overgrown with reeds and therefore offer many hiding places for birds. And the meadows next to the pond are perfect for feeding. Poplar and pine forests, shrubs and grassland complete the picture. Especially in the period from September to December it is worth a visit. During this time, more than 30,000 Lisasta guska and Guska glogovnjača (tundranska) stay in the area. Sometimes there are also rarer guests among them, like Kratkokljuna guska, Mala lisasta guska, Belolika guska, Grivasta guska or Guska crvenovoljka. The area is also rich in ducks. You can see the more common ducks, but also sometimes Prevez, Šiljkan, Morska crnka, Zviždara and Patka njorka. Of the total of 85 bird species recorded at Neolith Teich, about 23 are also breeding birds. Among them are ducks like Čegrtuša, Plovka kašikara, Grogotovac, Riđoglava patka, but also Mali gnjurac, Riđovrati gnjurac, Vodeni bik, Čapljica, Trstenjak rogožar, Trstenjak crvrkutić, Veliki trstenjak, Senica vuga and Eja močvarica. Sometimes Belorepan is seen around the lake.
