The Tister Bauer bog is a peat bog, which was declared on May 2, 2002 to the Nature Reserve. It has a size of 570 hectares and is grouped with the southern nature reserve Ekelmoor, the Avensermoor and the Everstorfer Moor to the large high moorland Ekelmoor, the whole has an area of 1220 ha.
Location
The Tister Bauer Moor is located near the town Tiste, who gave him his name. Tiste is a municipality in the district of Rotenburg in Sittingbourne (Wümme ) in Lower Saxony. The bog is part of the natural space of Wümme lowlands.
Renaturation
The bog was abgetorft industrially in large part. In the northern area of the moor had been converted to grassland, but which is no longer farmed. For renaturation about a third of the reserve was rewetted. The covered with white pine areas were freed from the nursery. These areas are now breeding and resting places for many, some rare species of birds. The conservation areas are almost completely (564 ha ) to the EU bird sanctuary " Moore at Sittingbourne ." As a local nature conservation authority of the district of Rotenburg acts (Wümme ).
Flora and Fauna
The crane has settled here again and pulls his boy. The Tister Bauer Moor is one of the leading crane places in the Northwest German lowlands. In late autumn snap in the bog several thousand cranes before they fly further into their winter quarters. Here in 2008 about 5,000 latching cranes were counted. Also, the rare golden eagle and the osprey have been spotted here. The following raptors were also observed in the Moor: Eurasian Hobby, Peregrine Falcon, Merlin, Marsh Harrier, Hen Harrier, Montagu's Harrier, Red Kite, Black Kite, Honey Buzzard and rough-legged buzzard. In addition, there are breeding records, but at least breeding season observations: before short-eared owl, great gray shrike, Common Teal, Garganey, Shoveler, Black Stork, Common Snipe, Lapwing, Nightjar, Grasshopper Warbler, Stonechat, Whinchat and Red-backed Shrike. The list of migratory birds is counting on more than 40 species.
Due to the lack of nutrients, the acidic pH of the water and the continuous accumulation of water on a highly specialized flora has formed in Tister Bauer Moor. We find the dwarf shrub heath, cotton grass and especially peat moss. Furthermore, here sundew, a carnivorous plant grows.
