Description
Teiche Riddagshausen is the largest nature reserve in the city of Braunschweig. The area, which is characterized by extensive pond and reed beds, meadows and pastures as well as near-natural deciduous forests, covers an area of about 526 hectares. The diverse range of large and small waters, reed beds, marshy areas and wet meadows provides habitat for a variety of bird species, but also for fish, amphibians and dragonflies. The old oak stands provide food and shelter, especially for woodpeckers. An important nature conservation goal is the preservation of the extensive and structurally rich reed beds for birds like Great Bittern, Water Rail, Spotted Crake and Savi's Warbler. Other birds you can encounter are Northern Shoveler, Garganey, Common Teal, Red-crested Pochard, Common Pochard, Tufted Duck, Northern Lapwing, Red Kite, Reed Bunting, Middle Spotted Woodpecker and Lesser Spotted Woodpecker.
