Description
The Spieß nature reserve has many biotopes in a relatively small area. It is easy to reach and you can walk along a beautiful path with a lookout tower and observation hide. The nature reserve is home to a large number of specially and strictly protected animal species. Bird species associated with reeds such as Лунь очеретяний, Синьошийка, Очеретянка велика and Очеретянка лучна prove the high value of the area. Duck and heron species such as Чирянка велика, Чирянка мала, Нерозень and Чепура велика, Мала біла чапля and, as in 2015, Чапля руда can be found on the open water surfaces and their transition zones to the reed beds. These biotopes serve as breeding and resting places for many rare bird species. A total of around 250 bird species have already been recorded in the protected area.
