Beskrivning
The Steinhorster Becken is a fairly recent, human-made, nature reserve consisting of a mosaic of habitats, like reedbeds, freshwater ponds with islands and wetlands. The area serves as both resting and foraging for many species of bird.
In winter, the area is great for observing ducks, geese and herons, like vigg, Skedand, vitkindad gås, bläsgås, gråhäger and ägretthäger. The ponds are also a great place to observe storskrake.
In spring, the area is used by Trana to rest when migrating northwards to their breeding grounds. Other migrating species that often can be found here are Fiskgjuse, svart stork and Pilgrimsfalk. The area is also home to many breeding species, like skrattmås, tofsvipa, skäggdopping and storspov. From 2010 on, the area is also home to a breeding pair of vit stork.
