Description
The Outer Alster ("Alster" is the name of the river, "Außen" means Outer) represents a large water body located on a migratory bird route within a metropole region. Frequent breeding and feeding birds like Крижень (of course), Пірникоза велика, Лиска звичайна, Водяна курочка, Баклан великий or Мартин звичайний are known from many places. Especially during winter half of the year water birds of all kind can be expected. Several species of ducks (including Синьга, Чернь морська, Чирянка мала), divers (Пірникоза сірощока, Пірникоза чорношия, Пірникоза червоношия), gulls (all common species) and terns ( Крячок чорний, Крячок річковий) can be observed with a bit of luck and scope. Even Орлан-білохвіст has been seen gliding over. Recorded rarities include Поморник великий and Крячок білокрилий.
