Description
The Weisendorfer Weiher, located in a quiet agricultural landscape, consist of several fish ponds bordered by reed beds, wet meadows, and scattered trees. The area is managed primarily for aquaculture but also serves as a habitat for a variety of bird species throughout the year. Its relatively undisturbed character and mosaic of wetland habitats make it suitable for breeding, feeding, and resting birds.
Common waterbirds such as Canard colvert, Foulque macroule, and Oie cendrée are regularly seen, along with Grèbe huppé and Héron cendré. In spring and autumn, the ponds attract migrating ducks and waders, while songbirds use the surrounding hedgerows and meadows. The reed beds provide cover for species like various warblers and Gallinule poule-d'eau during the breeding season.
Though not a major hotspot, the Weisendorf ponds occasionally host rare or locally uncommon bird species. Sightings have included Cigogne noire, Aigrette garzette, and Sarcelle d'été during migration periods. In some years, Grèbe jougris or Marouette ponctuée have been reported. The mix of habitats also makes it a potential site for species like the Gorgebleue à miroir or Busard des roseaux, though these are not regularly observed.
The site is appreciated for its peaceful setting and moderate bird diversity, offering opportunities for observation without heavy disturbance.
