Description

Ergolzmündung / KW Augst Whylen Altrhein is only a small area along the river but often surprising guests turn up during migration or winter guests. The mouth of the Ergolz stream is a small-scale area, while the bigger and wide basin of the Altrhein is also interesting for passing waders and swallows. Fields all around the area are worthwhile for migratory birds in spring. The bird hide on the Altrhein is a must during the migration period! Among the birds you can encounter are Šarena utva, Plovka kašikara, Šiljkan, Prevez, Baršunasti turpan, Mali ronac, Veliki ronac, Mali gnjurac, Barski petlovan, Sivi barski petlić, Žalar slepić, Sprudnik ubojica, Mala šljuka, Barska šljuka, Crni sprudnik, Krivokljuni sprudnik, Sprudnik migavac, Crnoglavi galeb, Morski galeb, Crna čigra, Velika čigra, Veliki morski gnjurac, Bela roda, Mala bela čaplja, Kašičar, Eja močvarica, Kobac, Jastreb, Riđa lunja, Crna lunja, Vodomar, Srednji detlić, Mali detlić, Crna žuna, Lastavičar, Sivi soko, Siva vetruška, Siva senica, Kratkokrili voljić, Trstenjak crvrkutić, Cvrčić tršćar, Mali slavuj, Modrovoljka, Crnovrata muharica, Crna crvenrepka, Crnoglava travarka, Obična travarka, Potočna pliska, Žutoglava pliska, Zimovka, Žutarica, Čižak, Strnadica žutovoljka and Barska strnadica.
