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 Mánaþröstur during spring migration. The Blábrystingur is a breeding bird in the reeds, just like the Sefsöngvari and the Síkjasöngvari. Sometimes you hear a Engisöngvari or a Flóðsöngvari, and the Kampameisa also show up occasionally. There is a nice collection of waterfowl in the area, including Skutulönd, Skeiðönd and Dverggoði, sometimes you hear a Keldusvín or even a Sefþvari, and Hrossagaukur and other waders are also possible. Also chance on Sparrhaukur, Netlusöngvari and Dvergsnípa.
