Windheim March
The Windheimer Marsch nature reserve is around 90 hectares in size. It is located on the right side of the Weser in the natural area of the Weser Valley west of the Windheim district of the city of Petershagen , is part of the EC bird sanctuary " Weseraue " and is listed under the name MI-068. As a part of this bird sanctuary, the Windheimer Marsch is part of the Natura 2000 network of special protected areas .
The six still waters created by gravel excavation characterize the nature reserve through near-natural bank structures with flat banks, peninsulas and reed beds . In the northern area there are extensively used grassland and bushes. Several small bodies of water complement the biotope mosaic .
The Windheimer Marsch gains importance through its year-round function as a breeding, resting, moulting and wintering place. The waders and water birds that can be found here include the little ringed plover , the common tern , the bean goose and the goosander . Many of the bird species living here are on the red list of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia .
The white storks that breed in the vicinity of the area are a specialty for Ostwestfalen-Lippe .
