Beskrivning
The Weiherwald offers a great range of habitats (mixed alluvial woodland, shallow ponds, streams, ditches, meadows, gardens), all in a very small area and close to an urban environment. It is very accessible with paths for pedestrians and cyclists transecting the area. These paths have two benefits: they makes bird observations easy and also mean that the birds are not too shy. A circular walk of the location covers all the habitats mentioned above, with many variations and little detours possible.
There is a notable population of 20 or more Kricka present here in winter (and well into spring).
The Weiherwald is great for observing and hearing Woodpeckers, with five species possible all year round: mellanspett , större hackspett and Gröngöling are common here and there is always a chance of spillkråka and mindre hackspett, especially in winter.
The shallow ponds and ditches attract kungsfiskare, which can be seen fishing or flying from one area of water to another. forsärla are sometimes present, foraging along the water's edges.
Small flocks of stjärtmes often roam the area, along with grönsiska, stenknäck and the occasional rödvingetrast in winter.
Late spring is a great time to listen to sommargylling, sydnäktergal and lövsångare. With a bit of luck svartvit flugsnappare can also be seen.
Other birds present all year round include brandkronad kungsfågel, Nötväcka, trädgårdsträdkrypare and entita.
In addition to the fantastic birdlife, the Weiherwald is also a hotspot for many (rare) amphibians and insects. No matter what time of year or day, there's always something to enjoy here!
