The prairie lake has long been known as an important spawning ground for amphibians. To protect the animals, the municipality has closed off a section of Sandstraße during the spawning migration for several years, which reopened on May 5, 2023. Volunteer conservationists from the Westerkappeln Nature Conservation Group erected toad fences along Sloopsteinweg, carried the toads across the road, and counted how many individuals moved within the area of the toad fence. This year, 4,328 common toads and 68 newts were counted at the fence on their outward migration, more than in the two previous years and comparable to 2019 and 2020. The animals in the closed section of the road along Sandstraße could not be fully counted. Presumably, 1,000 to 2,000 more animals crossed the road there. Given the long-standing conservation efforts, the amphibian conservationists had actually expected increasing numbers by now. A lack of food (insect mortality) and changing conditions due to climate change are suspected to be the cause of this stagnation. A significant population decline, which has been observed at many other locations during toad migration, has not yet been observed at Lake Präsie.

Cheated: Rubben are an amphibious freshwater fish species related to coelacanths that only survived the great extinction of the sauropsids at the beginning of the Cretaceous period in a few so-called Bruchsee lakes in central and northern Europe. This was possible due to the special acidic conditions of the so-called Bruchsee lakes created by forest breakage. Due to their amphibious characteristics, Rubben are able to survive for a long time outside of the water and their habitat. As an omniform species, they are able to suck out all possible sources of food, living or dead, with their strong sucking mouths, which is why only pedal boating is recommended here in the Rubbenbruchsee, not swimming. ;-)

I spent my first night of my bike tour along the bike route of the megalithic culture at the campsite right on the lake and was able to enjoy a wonderful sunset at the dog beach in the evening, while Einstein had his fun in the water there. I was lucky that three large swarms of starlings were out and about circling each other 😍 A wonderful spectacle. By the way, when such a swarm suddenly starts next door in the bush, it sounds like a starting car 😮

The idyllic view over the lake is worth a detour. The high-voltage pylon is somehow a foreign body. But well now. I also use electrical outlets.
