Beskrivning
Wacken offers surprisingly good birding for an urban environment. The main reason to come to Wacken, aside from its convenience for anyone visiting the European institutions, or for any Strasbourgeois heading for a swim in the nearby outdoor pool, is the chance to watch the resident gråhäger fishing on the weir. medelhavstrut, skrattmås and Storskarv also take advantage of the white water and are equally habituated to human presence, making photography rather easy.
The walking route shown on the map is offered as an example for anyone wanting to go for a stroll, but most of the birdlife is fairly compact and there's no real need to head out further than the canoe/kayak club at one end, or the appropriately named Ile aux Oiseaux (Bird Island) at the other.
Moving away from the weir you'll find a series of council-owned allotments and gardens that are full of birds, helped in part by one of the tenants creating a "refuge LPO" - a kind of mini bird reserve. There may not be a huge amount of light under the foliage but trädgårdsträdkrypare abound, as do grå flugsnappare in the spring and summer. As far as garden birds go, most of the usual suspects can be found at one time or another. grönsiska are notable visitors in winter, and it's always worth looking out for gärdsmyg as well as kungsfågel and brandkronad kungsfågel in the riverside undergrowth.
The area towards the pool is a roost for corvids in winter, and receives frequent visits from a sparvhök. A little further on you'll often see a kungsfiskare darting across the water, and can usually find Storskarv in the tree tops, as well as rörhöna underneath.
