Descripción
The area at the Danube reservoir at Greifenstein consists of a roughly 2.5-kilometre peninsula (1) that separates the Danube (2) from an old southern side arm (3). Around 220 species have already been recorded in the area. Most interesting are gulls, ducks, geese, and divers which stay from mid-October until early spring.
The side arm (3) is best explored on foot or by bike from the southern path “Am Damm.” Afterwards, it is worth walking across the “Die Schwelle” bridge to the Danube lock. Along the way you pass several small islets that are also worth checking. From dam on the lock, only the eastern part of the Danube is visible, where gulls and cormorants rest. As early as late summer and autumn, the Gaviota Cabecinegra is occasionally sighted, followed somewhat later by the Gaviota argéntea europea. More common are Gaviota Patiamarilla, Gaviota del Caspio, and Gaviota Reidora. The Gaviota Enana has been recorded especially in November. Four sightings of the Gavión Atlántico and three of the Gaviota Tridáctila also come from the cold season. Records of the heuglini subspecies of Gaviota sombría ("Heuglin's gull") and Gavión Hiperbóreo are rare but confirm the site’s potential. Among cormorants, the Atlantic subspecies P. c. carbo is regularly observed.
The island (1) is covered with a strip of alluvial and deciduous forest. Noteworthy among the probable breeding birds are Papamoscas Acollarado, Pico Mediano, and on the islets the Andarríos Chico. Most surveys in the area, however, take place outside the breeding season; in the summer, the side arm is frequented by swimmers and water sports enthusiasts. Of particular interest are the winter gatherings of waterbirds either on the side arm or on the impounded Danube itself (2), which reach their peak in January. They can be viewed from the northern path, which is heavily used by cyclists.
Among the ducks, the Porrón Moñudo is the most numerous. A regular guest between November and January is the very similar Porrón Bastardo. Less frequently at the same time, the Negrón especulado, Zampullín Cuellirrojo and Somormujo Cuellirrojo are recorded, and even more rarely the Pato Havelda. Those not lucky with rarities can expect Serreta Grande, Porrón Osculado, and Gaviota sombría. The food-rich area also regularly attracts the Pigargo Europeo.
