Description
The Reussegg floodplain was completed in 2024 and is becoming an important attraction for a variety of bird species. In addition to pioneer areas for waders, a sand hill provides breeding grounds for Digesvale. In the lower part of the floodplain, a steep slope is being created for Isfugl. Tree trunks attract Stær. Waders like Dobbeltbekkasin, Svaleklire, Lille Præstekrave, and Mudderklire are best observed during migration.
