Brandenburg  >  Germany

One of the landscape parks in the Berlin-Potsdam area. Often crowded but good for birding in the early hours. A nice place if you are in the area.

Beskrivning

The New Garden (in German: Neuer Garten) is one of the old parks in Potsdam in the style of an English landscape garden. Built in the 18th century, 'new' refers to newer than Sanssouci Park. The park is known for being the centre of the Potsdam Conference in 1945.

It still has many scattered old oak trees and lush undergrowth making it an ideal place to see mellanspett (five territories), sydnäktergal (up to 20 territories) and härmsångare (around seven territories).

In autumn you can spot migrant warblers in the bushes and trees, especially in the northern parts. brandkronad kungsfågel is seen regularly in spring, summer and rarely even in winter. In late winter it is one of the best places for sidensvans (annually). Scan the trees that have mistletoes! Many thrushes also feed on the mistletoes as well as on yew berries in early spring.

The adjacent lake Heiliger See is mainly interesting in winter when thousands of diving ducks rest on the lake. The majority are vigg and brunand, and also hybrids between the two are common. mandarinand hide under trees that hang low over the water surface. Rarer ducks are bergand and dabbling ducks. Rarities have been svärta, vitögd dykand and alfågel. The best vantage point for waterfowl is the terrace of Marmor Palace (see map). A scope can be useful sometimes.

The park can be quite crowded, especially in summer and on weekends. It is less crowded in cold and harsh weather and in the very early hours of the day.
