This river basin of the Oude Rijn (Old Rhine) consists from a number of ponds, reed land, thickets, a piece of the Old Rhine and mud flats. The Jezuïtenwaai is very popular among birdwatchers because there are many different birds to see. A small part of the Jezuïtenwaai is accessible.
Nice birds you can see here are Skestork, Hvid Stork, Sortterne, Silkehejre and Rørdrum. But als many waders like Dobbeltbekkasin Hvidklire, Tinksmed, Stor Kobbersneppe Brushane, Klyde and Stor Præstekrave. In spring also many songbirds like Skægmejse, Blåhals, and Gærdesanger. In winter many ducks like Spidsand and geese an also a chance on Rødhalset Gås.
From the dike you have a good overview, but you can also enter the area and get close to the water and mud flats (only exposed with low water).
