Descrizione
The area contains huge areas of water plants, that fish use for spawning. Both the billions of plants and young fish attract 10 of thousands waterbirds. Groups of more than 1000 Folaga, 1000 Canapiglia, 1000 Mestolone, or 50 Svasso piccolo are not uncommon. Svasso collorosso breeds here and Strolaga maggiore winters every year with upto 3 individuals. During spring migration 1000s of swallows or swifts can use this site as a stopover, especially in adverse weather. Quattrocchi, Moretta grigia can be found between the many ducks and the area is a major sleeping area for Smergo minore. The islands hold good breeding bird colonies with Cormorano, Airone bianco maggiore, Garzetta and Airone cenerino. Also many Oca facciabianca and Oca selvatica breed there, as well as many ducks. Usignolo, Usignolo di fiume and sometimes Pendolino breed on the islands. Poiana and Astore breed on the islands and wintering Aquila di mare are present and several individuals use the area for sleeping.

Accesso
Go to the tiny harbour of Oude Tonge and from there south towards the Suisendijk. At the end of the Suisendijk the road goes down towards a small recreation field and car park. On foot or by bike follow the cycling path on the dyke to the west. You can continue until the Grevelingen dyke and even beyond.
P.S. good birdwatching starts already before the car park, as the vantage point from the sluices gives a good view on the roosting site of the Aquila di mare and the canal and harbour may hold Pesciaiola and Smergo maggiore.
Access from the other side is also possible: Take the N59 from Oude Tonge towards Bruinisse. Take the turnoff towards Sint Philipsland. At the roundabout take the side road back towards Oude Tonge and drive beween the N59 and the Krammer lake on a small road, the Zuiderlandse dijk. Birding from your car is possible on that stretch, but be carefull, as more traffic uses this road. Continue untill the road turns right (east), away from the N59. Park your car on the right, just before the road bends back towards the left.
