About Klingnauer Stausee
The Klingnau reservoir is of international importance as an important habitat and resting place for waterfowl and waders. But raptors are sometimes observed on the train to Winterquatier in large numbers in the sky. Every year, up to 220 species of birds are found. A total of over 310 different species of birds have been detected, around 100 of which have one or more times brooded on Klingnau reservoir or the adjacent floodplains.

The reservoir was already in 1938 by the ornithologists 'discovered', and since the early forties, the number of especially weekends together flowing here observers steadily increased. Over the years are met in the archives of the Swiss Ornithological Institute and at various individuals over 650,000 observations.

In winter, the water birds at the reservoir are systematically recorded since 1967 as part of the internationally coordinated Waterbird Census (VMS). And since 1980 collects the Ornithological Working Group Klingnau reservoir all year observations of the bird species in the area. From Klingnauer Stausee web page
