Ducks at the Klingnauer Reservoir

Every year hundreds of dabbling and diving ducks such as teals, pintails, pochards and tufted ducks spend the winter at the Klingnauer Stausee. With a bit of luck, other winter guests such as the great white egret, the moorhen, the greylag goose and the kingfishers can be photographed.

Alpine ibexes on the Niederhorn

The Niederhorn in the Bernese Oberland is home to a variety of alpine animal species such as ibex, ptarmigan and chamois. Together we set out in search of these charismatic animals. But the impressive Alpine panorama should not be missed out either.
