Description
In the nature reserve Isarauen, the 1100x290m measuring reservoir Ickinger Stausee lies embedded between the 30m wide Isar water channel and the river Isar. At the reservoir there are breeding Пірникоза велика and Гуска сіра. Мандаринка and Очеретянка ставкова also appear. Жовна сива and Дятел малий live in the riparian forests. Further breeding birds in the area are Крех великий, Пронурок біловолий and Плиска гірська.
From the path on the north side of the reservoir there are occasionally narrow paths through the forest that lead to the gravel banks of the river Isar. Пісочник малий is breeding there (but pay attention to the entry ban during breeding season!). Regular winter guests in the area are Чапля сіра, Чернь чубата, Гоголь зеленоголовий, Рибалочка блакитний and Щеврик гірський. Along the way north of the water channel you sometimes find feeding stations where you can observe birds from a small distance. The Isar valley also is habitat of Пугач палеарктичний.
