Descrizione

In winter, the Ottersaat area is occupied by many species of ducks, like Fischione, Codone, Mestolone and geese, mainly Oca colombaccio, but always keep a lookout for the White-bellied (ssp. hrota) and the Black (ssp. nigricans). They can play hard to catch, but a real treat if you find one. In spring, breeding birds like Sterna comune, Avocetta and Gabbiano comune take over the area. If you look closely, you may find a Voltapietre. It is a stone's throw from Dijkmanshuizen, described elsewhere on this website.

Nederlands: Ottersaat is een voormalige dijkdoorbraak waar veel vogels broeden, maar de plek trekt ook veel trekvogels. Het is gelegen aan het begin van de Texelse Vogelboulevard. In de winter wordt het Ottersaat ingenomen door vele soorten eenden, zoals Fischione, Codone, Mestolone en ganzen, voornamelijk Oca colombaccio, maar let ook altijd op de Witbuikrotgans (ssp. hrota) en de Zwarte Rotgans (ssp. nigricans). Ze kunnen moeilijk te vinden zijn, maar is een mooie beloning als je er een vindt. In het voorjaar nemen broedvogels als Sterna comune, Avocetta en Gabbiano comune het gebied over. Als je goed kijkt, vind je misschien een Voltapietre. Het gebied ligt op een steenworp afstand van Dijkmanshuizen, dat elders op deze website is beschreven.

Dettagli

Accesso

You can reach the area via the IJsdijk from Oudeschild or via the Lancasterdijk, coming from the north. There are a few parking lots on the side of the road, making sure that you aren't hit by the (often speeding, be careful!) traffic along the dike.
