Beautiful area where a small creek feeds Lake Ossiach. You can see various birds in this wetland that has been restored to it's original character.

Descripción

A small creek (The Tiebel) here feeds Lake Ossiach. It is a former moist agricultural area. Where in the past mostly corn has been grown. A 70 ha part area has been given back to nature in 2017 and the original wetland character has been restored. However, the actual aim of this project was not to restore the area to its natural state, but rather to reduce the nutrient levels in Lake Ossiach, as the Tiebel had become heavily enriched with nutrients due to the fertilisation of agricultural fields.

The ponds give the area its main character, and many species of waterbird can be seen here. Large flocks of swans, geese and ducks rest and forage here. Species like Cerceta Carretona and Cerceta Común can be seen in small numbers near the edges of the ponds.

Ánsar común can be found here in large numbers. Among them, there is also a Ánsar piquicorto, which is most likely an escapee from captivity.

The reedbeds are great for many breeding birds, like Avetorillo común, Carricero Tordal and Rascón Europeo. Waterplants cover large patches of water, and are great for Gallineta Común, and sometimes even Polluela Bastarda and Polluela Pintoja.

In spring and summer, besides the two common heron species, Garza Real and Garceta Grande, you can also see rarer species such as Garza Imperial, Garceta Común, and Garcilla Bueyera.

Of particular interest is the Cormorán Grande colony that breeds here between the ponds, one of only three colonies of this species in Austria. Since the two basins were flooded, Martinete Común have also bred here.

The agricultural side of the area on the east is great for large flocks of songbird after the breeding season. Large flocks of finches, sparrows and wagtails forage here in the fields.
