Description
The Holter Hammrich polder is divided into two parts. The western, 143-hectare section "Leyßer Hammrich" was designed as a habitat for meadow birds. It is extensively managed as grassland except for a pond that already existed before the redesign. The eastern, 80-hectare section "Altes Tief" is not cultivated. Here, a diverse mosaic of shallow water zones, shrubs, reed beds and wet grassland was created. Among the breeding birds are (Ευρωπαϊκή) Λιμόζα, (Ευρωπαϊκή) Αβοκέτα, (Ευρωπαϊκή) Καλημάνα, (Κοινό) Μπεκατσίνι, Κοκκινοσκέλης, (Ευρασιατική) Τουρλίδα, (Ευρωπαϊκός) Στρειδοφάγος. (Κοινή) Σιταρήθρα, Μαυρολαίμης, Γαλαζολαίμης and (Μεγάλο) Καλαμοτσίχλονο.
