64 hectare of restored freshwater tidal area on the River Durme.
The Groot Broek tidal nature reserve was poldered, but has been depoldered again in the context of flood risk management and given back to the river Durme. For example, the river has more space in times of high water. It will once again be a freshwater tidal area with mud flats and salt marshes. That attracts a lot of birds. Birds that you can see here are Common Shelduck, Northern Lapwing, Little Grebe, Common Snipe, Common Redshank, Common Greenshank, Great Cormorant, Eurasian Spoonbill, Bluethroat, European Stonechat and Reed Bunting. You can combine a visit with the adjacent area of Klein Broek where the same development has taken place and this area is also described on Birdingplaces.
_________________________
Nederlands: Het getijdennatuurgebied Klein Broek was ingepolderd maar is in het kader van waterveiligheid weer ontpolderd en terug gegeven aan de rivier de Durme. Zo heeft de rivier meer speling in tijden van hoog water. Het wordt weer een zoetwatergetijdengebied met slikken en schorren. Dat trekt veel vogels aan. Vogels die je hier kunt zien zijn Common Shelduck, Northern Lapwing, Little Grebe, Common Snipe, Common Redshank, Common Greenshank, Great Cormorant, Eurasian Spoonbill, Bluethroat, European Stonechat en Reed Bunting. Je kunt een bezoek combineren met het aangrenzende gebied Klein Broek waar dezelfde ontwikkeling heeft plaatsgevonden en dit gebied is ook beschreven op Birdingplaces.
You can park in the parking lot next to restaurant De Koolputten.
