Description
Located South of Culemborg near the small village of Tricht, the "Nieuwe Hoeven" is a fairly small area consisting of a semi open landscape with pastures and damp meadows, surrounded by forests. Small reedbeds are located on the eastern side of the area. Especially in Spring and during migration in both Spring and Autumn, many species of songbird and wader can be seen here.
The fairly wet meadows are a great spot for species like töyhtöhyyppä, punajalkaviklo and mustapyrstökuiri. ruskosuohaukka can often be seen hunting above these pastures. Some parts of the area are very wet, which make them a great spot for migrating waders, like metsäviklo and valkoviklo. Multiple pairs of pikkutylli can be seen here. Besides waders, it's a great spot for observing vuorikirvinen.
The small reedbeds on the eastern side of the area are a good spot for pajusirkku, sinirinta and rytikerttunen. Sometimes Luhtakana can be heard too and, with a bit of luck, a luhtahuitti shows up.
The area is also great for foraging kattohaikara and in winter, fairly large numbers of jalohaikara and geese can be seen here too.
