More than 300 bird species have already been detected at the Klingnau reservoir. Especially, during the migration season, you can always see something unexpected! But why is this protected area so important for birds? What migration strategies exist among the different species and why do birds migrate at all?

On this guided tour you will find out all the answers and get to know some of the character species of the area. Of course there will be plenty of time to watch birds: waterfowl and waders, but with a bit of luck also migrating birds of prey and the kingfisher. You will learn how to determine the different species and explore their biology. Come and join us!
