Description
Stampf Rapperswil - Jona lies at the upper end of the lake of Zürich at Lake Obersee. Where the river Jona joins the lake you have a good view over most of the Obersee. There is also a small island, attracting waders and herons. It's a good area for wintering waterfowl, breeding terns and gulls and migrating waders and passerines. Breeding waterfowl includes good numbers of (Ευρασιατικό) Φερεντίνι and some Mandarin Duck. In winter more species of ducks are present. Ποταμογλάρονο are breeding in several places and it's also the most reliable site for breeding Μαυροκέφαλος Γλάρος, although usually just one or two pairs are breeding. (Ευρασιατική) Τουρλίδα can be seen year round and may even breed from time to time. The mouth of the river Jona is also an excellent place to watch migratory birds. During migration Αργυροτσικνιάς, Μαυρογλάρονο, many waders, gulls and other tern species can turn up.
