Description
The Langwieser See is a small lake. The lake itself isn't very good for birding, but sometimes you can spot Рибалочка блакитний there. In the reed area about 100 meters east of the lake, in winter you can see for example Вівсянка очеретяна and sometimes also Пастушок. In summer it's full of Очеретянка ставкова. West to the lake, there are nice water reservoirs, which in winter often contain Баранець малий (best to spot with a thermal imaging camera), and sometimes Баранець звичайний.
South to the reservoirs, there is a smal bush land with Вівсянка звичайна, Щиглик звичайний and in winter often В’юрок. In the gardens and trees along the small stream you can find Чиж лісовий in winter and Горихвістка звичайна and Кропив’янка сіра in summer. Sometimes you can also hear a Соловейко західний here.
Very good are the fields around the whole area. During migration you can see Щеврик лучний, Очеретянка чагарникова, Трав'янка чорноголова (sometimes also staying over winter), Яструб великий, Кам’янка звичайна, Жовта плиска, Кропив’янка прудка and rarely Крутиголовка звичайна, Чайка чубата and Лунь польовий. All year round you will find Коноплянка, Жайворонок польовий, Чапля сіра and Боривітер звичайний. Sometimes you can also see Куріпка сіра, Яструб малий or Сапсан.
