Description

The Oberlindacher Weiher, located in a rural setting near the village of Oberlindach, consist of several small to medium-sized fish ponds surrounded by wetland vegetation, meadows, and patches of woodland. The site is relatively undisturbed and provides suitable habitat for a range of bird species, especially those associated with water and reed zones.

Commonly observed birds include Héron cendré, Canard colvert, Cygne tuberculé, and Grèbe huppé. Rousserolle effarvatte, Foulque macroule, and Gallinule poule-d'eau are also present during the breeding season. The ponds are particularly alive with birds during spring and autumn migration, when species such as ducks, waders, and passerines use the area as a stopover.

Occasional sightings of less common species add interest to birdwatching at the Oberlindacher Weiher. These may include Blongios nain, Marouette ponctuée, or Sarcelle d'été during migration periods. In some years, Cigogne noire and Faucon kobez have been recorded in the surrounding area. The presence of dense reed beds also makes the site potentially suitable for elusive species like Râle d'eau or Gorgebleue à miroir, though sightings are infrequent.

The site is appreciated by local birdwatchers for its quiet atmosphere and the possibility to observe birds at relatively close range, especially from the edges of the ponds or adjacent paths.
