Gull island

There is a gull island, about 5,000 square metres in area in the Sibbersdorfer See. Until it was sold in 1988, gull eggs were collected here. When this practice ended, the island became increasingly overgrown as it was no longer mown.

The Eutin-Malente Bird Conservation Group took over this maintenance function in 1995 and the number of breeding pairs increased again.

reed warblers
have no longer bred here since the end of the 1990s.

In 2004 1,051 breeding pairs of birds of 19 species were counted, including: 750 pairs of

graylag geese, 49 pairs of tufted duck and a pair of mute swans
