Beschreibung
The northern end of the lake is a good option for bird enthusiasts visiting the city. The Utoquai is especially recommended in the early part of the day for scanning the water with binoculars.
There are always very common species around, such as Stockente , Höckerschwan , Bläßhuhn , Kormoran , Reiherente, and Gänsesäger. Sometimes exotic escapees or tricky hybrids provide some excitement.
For beginners looking to learn about different species, and for those simply seeking a relaxed opportunity to go birding, this could be a great spot.
In winter, rarer species are regularly spotted here. While waterfowl such as the Bergente and Mittelsäger can be more reliably observed at the well-known, more southerly locations on the lake, the Heringsmöwe overwinters quite regularly; recently, the Silbermöwe has also been observed. Surprisingly, Rothalstaucher can often be viewed up close.
During migration periods, the Rotdrossel is a regular visitor in early spring, and the Flußseeschwalbe in late summer. Thanks to the high density of observers, rarities are frequently reported—such as a Küstenseeschwalbe in 2007, a Schwalbenmöwe in 2011, and a Tienschan-Laubsänger in 2019.
