Description
The Häverner Marsch is a nature reserve consisting of six larger bodies of still water created by gravel extraction. After the gravel extraction ceased, the ponds were redesigned to create near-natural shorelines with shallow water zones, steep banks, reedbeds and peninsulas. Numerous small islands also dot the waterways. Some of the waterways are connected to each other or to the Weser River via flood channels, making them more susceptible to the Weser's flooding. The close proximity of these diverse habitats makes the Häverner Marsch particularly attractive for resting and wintering waterfowl.
The Häverner Marsch is significant due to its year-round function as a breeding, resting, moulting, and wintering ground. The wet meadows and ponds are an important habitat for birds such as Bíbic, Kis lile, Kanalas réce, Kerceréce, Kontyos réce and Kis vöcsök.
