Bird Flight Exhibit (Ilkerbruch Nature Trail)

Highlight • Viewpoint

Yes, you could have a very good view if you didn't let everything grow. Not only the view, but the space itself could do with a bit of care.

The little pun in the title was quite fitting.

At the observation hut, there was no sign of swans, geese, ducks, or cormorants. There was some chirping along the path, but everything was too quick or too far away.

Even after turning off, the usually tame jay didn't make an appearance today, but a beautiful ice show began.

Quick steps around the Ilkerbruchsee 😉 for our "conditions" of course...so that we don't come back completely in the dark 😅 Cold air, loud cranes and geese, no walkers except us... Work bye, end of the day welcome 👍

I decided to take advantage of the good weather and do another walk around Ilkerbruch. It seems that there are a lot of cranes wintering here this time. It's really cute when they walk on the ice at the edge of the pond.

Right at the beginning two cranes could be seen through the undergrowth. Soooo beautiful. With a lens and the right photo equipment, it's definitely a feast for the eyes 😁. Sneakers and muddy paths don't go well together. Rubber boots would have been an option, but they were hidden at the back of the brain 😉. Just didn't think of …

I've wanted to come back here for a long time and today it finally happened. You can park directly at the NABU observation post and when I was able to watch an osprey up close and personal from the outside lookout while hunting on the lake, I thought to myself that the planned double NSG round would probably not come …

Early morning at the Ilkerbruch

If you think you can go to the hide alone early in the morning, you're wrong. I was at the viewing point on the K114 well before sunrise. The diverse flock of birds really gets moving when the sunrise begins. Before that, however, the shy candidates show themselves like kingfishers. Soon the crowd of photographers …
