From the ice bath to the nest

Breeding birds along watercourses in the city of Zurich.

Even in the heart of the city of Zurich, revitalised watercourses once again provide a habitat for the goosander, kingfisher, dipper and grey wagtail. These rare birds of rivers and streams begin to court, sing and breed as early as late winter. On a short excursion along the Sihl, Schanzengraben and Limmat, we will try to spot these feathered river dwellers and understand why the revitalisation of watercourses is so important for these birds.

Speaker: Dr Martin Weggler

Meeting point: 09.00 Selnau station, north exit by the Sihl bridge
End: approx. 11.30, Drahtschmidli
