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.

March 13, 2022,NSG Ilkerbruch - Natur 🌾 pur 🐦 mitten 🌳 in 🌱 Wolfsburg

Hard to believe - in the middle of Wolfsburg there is this wonderful nature reserve from the Nabu with good living conditions for birds 🐦 and amphibians 🐸.
Wild horses 🐎 and cattle 🐃 can also be seen.
The area was funded by VW to compensate for the expansion of the plant.

Nature in the Ilkerbruch is still taking its time, apart from the pussy willows there are currently no signs of spring. The storks are not in sight either. But the sunshine did really well.

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.
