Descripción
The city of Lucerne has adapted a small section of its otherwise artificial lakeshore to provide opportunities for waterfowl, gulls, and birdwatching. Ufschötti, a park along Lake Lucerne, is marked by expansive lawns and minimal infrastructure (1). Nearby, between Ufschötti and the marina, are two small breeding islands (2). While it is disheartening that these are the bay’s only semi-natural spaces, it is this limitation that allows them to host a concentrated diversity of waterbirds. Established in the 1980s, the islands are slated for restoration and expansion in winter 2024/5. The marina pier, accessible to visitors, provides excellent views of the lake (3). Nearly 200 bird species have been recorded in the area.
Breeding birds are relatively scarce. A flock of Ánsar común at Ufschötti has been a fixture for some years; they are the offspring of escapees. Zampullín Común, Rascón Europeo, Somormujo Lavanco (with their spectacular mating ritual), and Serreta Grande nest in the area. In the park's hedges, Colirrojo Real can be seen from spring to autumn, alongside Papamoscas Cerrojillo, Papamoscas Gris, and Colirrojo Tizón. During autumn migration, the Curruca Zarcera is a notable visitor.
More interesting are the gulls and waterfowl. Among seasonal guests, the Gaviota sombría is frequently observed from April through July. Autumn brings the Andarríos Chico and the Martín Pescador Común, which remains through winter. He is then joined by the Gaviota Cana and the Porrón Pardo. This particularly noteworthy species can regularly be seen alongside a few Cuchara Común and thousands of Porrón Moñudo, Pato Colorado, Porrón Europeo, and Ánade friso, that spend the winter in the bay (with a few breeding couples staying here). With non-native algae and mussles colonizing the bay since the 1980s, numbers of wintering ducks have been increasing. It is worth scanning those: In some years, Silbón Europeo also appears, and Porrón Bastardo has been observed. The Agachadiza común might be seen on the islands. Winter visitors that are rare in Switzerland but more commonly seen here include Gaviota argéntea europea and Gaviota del Caspio, but they are not always easy to tell apart from the more numerous Gaviota Patiamarilla.
Significant rarities recorded in the area, but dating back to the 1970s, are Escribano Nival, Alcaudón Común, Fumarel Aliblanco, Aguja Colipinta, and Chorlitejo patinegro. More recent exceptional observations include Gaviota Guanaguanare, Andarríos Maculado, Correlimos Gordo, Pagaza Piquirroja, and Avoceta Común. A cooperative Falaropo Picogrueso drew some attention from birdwatchers in 2022. With restoration of the Brutinseln planned for 2025, the area is poised to attract exciting species in the future.
