Description
The Schinkelbos is the youngest part of Amsterdamse Bos. It consists of rugged, fairly open terrain with occasional impenetrable scrub, lots of reeds, puddles of water. In this less known and less accessible part of the Amsterdamse Bos are many and sometimes special birds that can rest, forage and breed here. For example, there may be Ring Ouzel during spring migration. The Bluethroat is a breeding bird in the reeds, just like the Reed Warbler and the Sedge Warbler. Sometimes you hear a Grasshopper Warbler or a Savi's Warbler, and the Bearded Tit also show up occasionally. There is a nice collection of waterfowl in the area, including Common Pochard, Northern Shoveler and Little Grebe, sometimes you hear a Water Rail or even a Great Bittern, and Common Snipe and other waders are also possible. Also chance on Sparrowhawk, Lesser Whitethroat and Jack Snipe.
