Description
The 375 ha large wetland reserve Schlammwiss in Uebersyren is an important migratory stopover for a great amount of birds, which use the wetlands to refill their reserves. The area has marshes, patches of forest, agricultural lands and orchards and Schlammwiss has with almost 20 hectares one of the biggest reed banks in Luxembourg.
The main bird species using the reed banks are Очеретянка ставкова, Очеретянка чагарникова and Вівсянка очеретяна. Beside the breeding birds the reed banks are a stopover place for Синьошийка, Ремез звичайний, Сутора вусата, або синиця вусата, Кобилочка солов’їна, Очеретянка велика, Очеретянка лучна and Очеретянка прудка. In the open areas between the reedbeds and the surrounding farms you can find birds like Трав'янка чорноголова, Сорокопуд терновий, Щиглик звичайний, Кропив’янка сіра and Кобилочка-цвіркун and during migration Перепілка звичайна, Трав’янка лучна and Кам’янка звичайна.
About 40.000 Ластівка сільська with Ластівка берегова arrive every year around August-September in the reed banks of Schlammwiss and create a natural spectacle that attracts predators like Підсоколик великий, Сапсан, Яструб малий and some owls. Futhermore big groups of Шпак звичайний - about 20.000 each year - and Щеврик гірський – about 100 each year – are using the reeds as sleeping or over wintering place too. As well small groups of Плиска біла, Жовта плиска and Вівсянка звичайна are using the reed as sleeping place.
