Beschreibung
The "Tichelgaten" is a fairly small natural area near the village of Buren and consists of several small ponds, reedbeds, pastures and small forested areas. Once, this area has been excavated for clay and has been turned into a small natural area since. The area is a good spot for many species of common songbird, woodpecker and small numbers of waterbirds. Frequently sighted species are Grünspecht, Mönchsgrasmücke and Grauschnäpper. The small ponds and reedbeds are a great spot for Teichrohrsänger, Zwergtaucher and Eisvogel. The small forested area in the west provides good habitat for woodpeckers, like Buntspecht and sometimes Kleinspecht. Scarcer species that can be found here are Pirol, Seidensänger, Kernbeißer and Nachtigall.
On the northern side of the road, the biggest pond is located and provides a great spot for many species of waterbird. In winter, fairly large numbers of Reiherente and Schnatterente can be found here. Sometimes, scarcer species like Gänsesäger and Tafelente might show up.
