Beskrivning
The Queichwiesen covers an area of almost 400 hectares. The Queichbrücke near Ottersheim is an ideal place for observation with a spotting scope or binoculars. Several hundred vit stork, swarms of stare and ladusvala as well as various types of waders can often be observed when the meadows are irrigated in April and May and in July and August. Rare guests such as svart stork or styltlöpare also appear on such days. The days when the meadows are irrigated can be requested at Queichwiesen.de (see the clickable link below). Wear waterproof shoes on these watering days! Among the other birds you can expect in the area are ängspiplärka, gråhäger, svarthakad buskskvätta, tofsvipa, törnskata and Brun glada.
