Beskrivning

The Krickenbecker Seen consist of four fairly large lakes, which originated between the 16th and 19th century due to peat extraction. In 1938, the area became a protected nature reserve due to its large variety of flora and fauna. Especially in winter, the area is a very good location for waterfowl, like ducks, geese and herons. The surrounding forests are good for songbirds and woodpeckers.

The two largest lakes, called Glabbacher Bruch and Hinsbecker Bruch, contain the largest numbers of waterfowl during the winter months. Large flocks of gräsand, brunand, Skedand and snatterand can be found in flocks of 100+ individuals. Also storskrake and salskrake can be observed fairly regularly. During autumn migration, the area is apparently favorable for migrating waterbirds, like svarttärna and dvärgmås. In the last ten years, even observations of tretåig mås, skräntärna and tärnmås have been made.

The two smaller lakes, called Schrolik and Poelvenn, are located on the western side of the larger lakes and are also a very good spot for waterfowl, but in smaller numbers. Species like Kricka can be found here too. The shores are covered more with reedbeds and therefore a very good place for reedbirds, like rörsångare and Sävsparv and sometimes even gräshoppsångare, skäggmes and blåhake.

The lakes are connected to the Nette river, which is a very good location for kungsfiskare and forsärla.

The area is also a good spot for migrating raptors, especially above the lakes, like röd glada, Brun glada and Fiskgjuse.

The surrounding forests are an ideal location for typical forest species, svarthätta, rödstjärt and svartvit flugsnappare. Also, many woodpeckers can be found here, like mellanspett and spillkråka.
