Beschreibung
Leinepolder Salzderhalden (> 500ha) consists of a mixture of wet meadows, reedbeds scattered with bushes and trees. In winter and spring the area can get flooded resulting in a lage shallow lake attractive to waterfowl and migrating waders. March and April are best with large flocks of Pfeifente, Löffelente and Krickente among other waterfowl. Large flocks of Kiebitz often contain small numbers of Goldregenpfeifer . Kranich usually is present, with single birds still around in May. Migration of waders in March - May can be interesting. Regular visitors are Kampfläufer , Grünschenkel , Rotschenkel (in small numbers), Waldwasserläufer , Bruchwasserläufer and Dunkler Wasserläufer but several rarities such as Sumpfläufer , Steppenkiebitz or Rotflügel-Brachschwalbe have paid this site a visit.
Breeding birds are for example Blaukehlchen , Schilfrohrsänger , Feldschwirl or Rohrschwirl. All European Rails and Crakes have used the area for breeding, though only Wasserralle and Wachtelkönig turn up yearly.
Autumn migration usually is quieter due to the lack of water.
In winter, large flocks of Geese (usually Graugans , Tundrasaatgans , Bläßgans ) are around. Here, the chances are best for finding Raufußbussard , that occasionally stay a few days or weeks.

The area can be crowded with birds or deserted. The abundence of birds is highly influenced of the water levels. Periods with lots of precipitation are required to create the high water situations that are necessary to flood the area. Therefore spring usually offers best conditions.
