Beschreibung
The Kippenkade, literally translated "Chicken Quay", is a small and narrow track through a typical Dutch polder landscape and adjacent to the 's Gravenkoop lake, which is part of the larger Reeuwijkse Plassen area. The track is used by local residents to get to their holiday residences, although this isn't frequent. The track is surrounded by trees, small reedbeds and waterways.
The reedbeds provide a great oppurtinity to find Seidensänger, Blaukehlchen and Schilfrohrsänger, besides more common species like Rohrammer and Teichrohrsänger. The scattered trees and bushes are great for Gelbspötter, Klappergrasmücke and Dorngrasmücke. The gardens of the present residences are good for small flocks of Feldsperling.
The surrounding polders are great for large flocks of geese in the winter months. Large numbers of Weißwangengans are present here and sometimes rare species like Rothalsgans and Zwergschneegans can be spotted within these flocks. During the breeding season, the polders are great for typical waders like Rotschenkel, Uferschnepfe and Kampfläufer. Large flocks of Wiesenschafstelze can be present too. Foraging Purpurreiher can be seen next to the ditches. The track itself is a good spot for grass snakes.
The 's Gravenkoop lake is a great spot for Trauerseeschwalbe. They tend to hang around here just before flying to their breeding area in the polders. Large numbers can be seen foraging above the lake. Sometimes, species like Weißflügel-Seeschwalbe and Zwergmöwe can be spotted too.

Zugang
The area is easy accessable on foot. Parking is a bit tricky, so try to park your car as best as possible so it doesn't block any access roads. The area can also be very muddy.
