Descrizione

Dijkmanshuizen is a fairly small brackish water lagoon, situated near the village of Oudeschild on the island of Texel. The area consists of a brackish water lagoon with several small islands and is surrounded by pastures and reedbeds. The area is a very good location for observaring waders, escpecially during high tide. Thousands of waders make use of the area to roost, like Pittima minore, Piovanello maggiore and Piovanello pancianera. Other waders, like Chiurlo piccolo, Piovanello comune, Piviere dorato and Corriere grosso, can often be found in smaller numbers. The area is one of the best places on the island to observe certain species of wader, like Pittima reale, Combattente and Corriere piccolo. During migration, the area is also a very good spot to observe Gambecchio nano and Gambecchio comune.

Many waterfowl use the area as breeding and roosting location. Large numbers of Oca facciabianca breed here and can often be found in large numbers. Also Volpoca can be very numerous. On the water, species like Alzavola and Mestolone can be seen and sometimes Marzaiola is present. In winter, the area is good for small numbers of Cigno minore and large flocks of Oca colombaccio.

The area is surrounded by patches of reedbed, but especially on the northwestern side of the area, large reedbeds are present. Common reedbirds breed here, like Cannaiola and Migliarino di palude. Also, several breeding pairs of Falco di palude are present and can often be seen hunting above the surrounding pastures.

On the eastern side of the area, a house with a large garden is present. The garden is a very good location for songbirds, like Canapino maggiore, Bigiarella and Sterpazzola. On the surrounding pastures, small flocks of Cutrettola can be seen and Allodola can be heard.

Nederlands: Dijkmanshuizen is een vrij kleine brakwaterlagune met enkele kleine eilandjes en is omgeven door weilanden en rietvelden. Het gebied is heel goed voor steltlopers, vooral bij vloed. Duizenden steltlopers maken gebruik van het gebied om te rusten, zoals Pittima minore, Piovanello maggiore en Piovanello pancianera. Andere steltlopers, zoals Chiurlo piccolo, Piovanello comune, Piviere dorato en Corriere grosso, zijn vaak in kleinere aantallen te vinden. Het gebied is een van de beste plekken op Texel om bepaalde soorten steltlopers te zien, zoals Pittima reale, Combattente en Corriere piccolo. Tijdens de trek is het gebied ook een zeer goede plek om Gambecchio nano en Gambecchio comune te zien.

Veel watervogels gebruiken het gebied als broed- en rustplaats. Oca facciabianca broedt hier en is vaak in grote aantallen te vinden. Ook Volpoca kan zeer talrijk zijn. Op het water zijn soorten als Alzavola en Mestolone te zien en soms Marzaiola. In de winter is het gebied goed voor kleine aantallen Cigno minore en grote groepen Oca colombaccio.

Het gebied is omgeven door stukken riet, maar vooral aan de noordwestkant van het gebied zijn grote rietvelden aanwezig. Hier broeden gewone rietvogels, zoals Cannaiola en Migliarino di palude. Ook zijn er meerdere broedparen van Falco di palude aanwezig en zijn ze vaak jagend boven de omliggende weilanden te zien.

Aan de oostkant van het gebied staat een woning met een grote tuin. De tuin is een goede locatie voor zangvogels, zoals Canapino maggiore, Bigiarella en Sterpazzola. Op de omliggende weilanden zijn kleine zwermen Cutrettola te zien en Allodola te horen.
