The wetland along the Nieuwe Zuiderlingedijk offers good opportunities to see water, reed, marsh and forest birds.
The nature reserves along the Nieuwe Zuiderlingedijk between Asperen and Spijk are especially worth visiting. Black Tern breed in the area. Little Grebe, Great Crested Grebe and Common Kingfisher breed here and there is a colony of Grey Heron. The forests are rich in all kinds of songbirds under which Common Nightingale, Common Redstart, Willow Tit and sometimes Lesser Spotted Woodpecker and even European Turtle Dove. Also, during migration time, check out the two water storage lakes with, among other things, many Common Pochard and other duck species. The reed marshes are important for numerous reed and marsh birds such as Bluethroat, Cetti's Warbler, Sedge Warbler, Savi's Warbler, Grasshopper Warbler, Water Rail, Purple Heron and Western Marsh Harrier. Common Raven is also spotted. Recently, a large area of grasslands above the Nieuwe Zuiderlingedijk have been excavated for nature development. This is temporarily attractive to waterfowl.

Nederlands: De natuurgebieden langs de Nieuwe Zuiderlingedijk tussen Asperen en Spijk zijn een bezoek waard. Black Tern broedt in de omgeving. Little Grebe, Great Crested Grebe en Common Kingfisher broeden hier en er is een broedkolonie van Grey Heron. De bossen zijn rijk aan allerlei soorten zangvogels waaronder Common Nightingale, Common Redstart, Willow Tit en soms Lesser Spotted Woodpecker en zelfs European Turtle Dove. Bekijk tijdens de trek ook de twee waterbergingsmeren met onder meer veel Common Pochard en andere eendensoorten. De rietmoerassen zijn belangrijk voor tal van riet- en moerasvogels zoals Bluethroat, Cetti's Warbler, Sedge Warbler, Savi's Warbler, Grasshopper Warbler, Water Rail, Purple Heron en Western Marsh Harrier. Common Raven wordt ook gezien. Recentelijk is boven de Nieuwe Zuiderlingedijk een groot stuk grasland afgegraven ten behoeve van natuurontwikkeling. Dit is tijdelijk aantrekkelijk voor watervogels.
It is not easy to park along the dike. You can park at some exits (work paths).
