The Düsterdieker Niederung area is a European bird sanctuary (protected area identifier DE-3612-401) in the north of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, which was designated by ordinance of 2000 by the Münster Regional Council .
The Birds Directive of the European Union serves to preserve the wild bird species native to the territory of its member states and to regulate the protection, management and regulation of these birds, their eggs and habitats .
location
The three sub-areas of the 27 square kilometer bird sanctuary "Düsterdieker Niederung" are located in the northeast of the Steinfurt district , north and south of the Mittelland Canal , right on the border with Lower Saxony . They extend north of the municipality of Westerkappeln , east of the municipality of Recke and west of the branch canal to the port of Osnabrück .
description
The "Düsterdieker Niederung" protected area is described as an "extensive, woodless grassland lowland with wet grassland communities of various types, ditches, shallow water hollows and small bodies of water, former raised bog areas, residual peat areas, heather areas, sandy grasslands and sparse pine forests".
It is one of the most important breeding areas for snipe and teal in the moorland, for the curlew and corncrake in the wet grassland areas, for the woodlark in the heather areas and a resting area for golden plover , lapwing and crane .
