A sand martin colony can be found here from spring to autumn. The sand martin is still called the Rhine martin. Belongs to the swallow family. It is very fast and reaches speeds of up to 50 km/h. In its zigzag flight it catches small insects in the air. Sand martins are migratory birds and overwinter in Africa. From spring, when they are here again, you can admire their flying skills again with curiosity.

Now, in October, it's almost unimaginable that it's teeming with life here in the summer months! Anyone who has already experienced this will probably like to return again and again, like me...
