Description

With its width the area offers an impressive contrast to the city landscape of Berlin. The nature reserve and its surroundings hold a good population of Kuyrukkakan. In recent years also some pairs of Tarlakuşu, Akgerdanlı ötleğen and Ketenkuşu were recorded. The increasing settlement pressure has probably led to the disappearance of Tarla kirazkuşu and Kızılsırtlı örümcekkuşu as breeding birds but there are still regular records. Around the area of the campus to the south, there were still isolated territories of Tepeli toygar and even Kır incirkuşu in recent years.

Extra info

You should allow some time to stroll around the southern campus of the Humboldt University. Architecturally, the area around the Aerodynamic Park is particularly worth a visit; ornithologically, the ever decreasing open spaces are of particular interest. Keep an eye (and ear) open for Tepeli toygar, Kır incirkuşu, Yeşil Ağaçkakan, Bülbül or Akgerdanlı ötleğen.
