Description
The Duvenseer Moor is a broad, quiet moorland shaped by the slow infilling of post‑glacial lakes after the last Ice Age. Over the centuries the lakes silted up, peat accumulated, and by the nineteenth century the area was drained and cut for peat, leaving the lowered, open moorland that survives now. In winter the flooded areas serve as a resting and feeding area for many birds. Birds you can observe include Greater White-fronted Goose, Bewick's Swan, Whooper Swan, Common Shelduck, Garganey, Northern Pintail, Eurasian Teal, Common Pochard, Common Cuckoo, Common Crane, Northern Lapwing, Eurasian Curlew, Ruff, Common Snipe, Hen Harrier, Western Marsh Harrier, White-tailed Eagle, Eurasian Hobby, Red-backed Shrike, Bearded Tit, Sedge Warbler, Common Nightingale, Eurasian Bullfinch, Eurasian Siskin and Yellowhammer.
