Nederlands: De Bovenkerkerpolder ligt ten zuiden van Amstelveen. In deze polder zetten twintig agrarische bedrijven zich in voor weidevogels. De graslanden liggen op oude kavels uit 1760. De meest kwel en veenrijke delen worden in de loop van juni gemaaid en op ongeveer 60 hectare wordt het waterpeil in de sloten in het voorjaar hoger gezet. Aan de Middenweg, die dwars door de polder loopt, is door Vogelbescherming Nederland de Rijke Weidevogelboulevard opgezet. Veel weidevogels doen het goed in dit gebied en het herbergt af en toe ook wat zeldzamere soorten. Er is een stabiele weidevogelpopulatie aanwezig van soorten als (Ευρωπαϊκή) Λιμόζα, (Ευρωπαϊκή) Καλημάνα, Κοκκινοσκέλης, (Ευρωπαϊκός) Στρειδοφάγος, maar ook (Κοινή) Σιταρήθρα, Λευκοσουσουράδα en Κιτρινοσουσουράδα, Λιβαδοκελάδα, (Ευρασιατική) Χουλιαρόπαπια, Καπακλής en Μαυροκέφαλη Πάπια.
