These meadows are the best place to see црноопашна блатарка on the Wadden Sea island of Schiermonnikoog. In winter thousands of geese can be observed.
The Banckspolder is the only meadow bird area on Schiermonnikoog and the best place to see црноопашна блатарка in spring and summer. With the construction of the sea wall in 1859, by Mr. John. E. Banck, changed the original salt marsh into a polder landscape with grasslands. Today there are seven farms in the area. Despite intensive agricultural use, reasonable numbers of калуѓерка, црноопашна блатарка, црвенонога тринга and остригар breed in the polder. In winter, thousands of Barnacle Goose and Brent Goose forage on the grasslands. The polder also serves as a high-water refuge for Wadden Sea birds during high water levels or spring tides on the mudflats. In winter you can see groups of златно блатарче in the polder and in some years црвенограда гуска can be observed.

Nederlands: De Banckspolder is het enige weidevogelgebied op Schiermonnikoog en de beste plek om in voorjaar en zomer de црноопашна блатарка te zien. Met de aanleg van de zeedijk in 1859, door dhr. John. E. Banck, veranderde de oorspronkelijke kwelder in een polderlandschap met grasland. Er bevinden zich tegenwoordig zeven boerenbedrijven. Ondanks het intensieve agrarische gebruik broeden er redelijke aantallen калуѓерка, црноопашна блатарка, црвенонога тринга en остригар. In de winter foerageren er duizenden Barnacle Goose en Brent Goose. De polder doet voor wadvogels tevens dienst als hoogwatervluchtplaats bij hoge waterstanden of springtij op het wad. In de winter wordt tussen de ganzen een enkele keer de црвенограда гуска aangetroffen en kun je in de polder regelmatig groepen златно блатарче zien.
The Banckspolder is located between the village of Schiermonnikoog and the island's ferry port. There are numerous roads and paths through and along the polder, so you can easily explore the area on foot or by bike.
