Description

De Lange Bretten or Brettenzone is a green belt north of the Haarlemmertrekvaart and south of the Western harbor area. From the 1960s, the area was part of the reclaimed areas of the Port of Amsterdam. Because the area has been fallow for a long time, spontaneous developments have occurred, resulting in a rugged green area. You can spot many songbirds, especially in the spring. Among the birds you can see are мал трскар, блатен трскар, Мочварна овесарка, полски трскар, Синогушка, црноглаво грмушарче, градинарско грмушарче, обично грмушарче and свиларче. Also крекс has been seen here.

_________________________

Nederlands: De Lange Bretten of Brettenzone is een natuurgebied met een oppervlakte van 130 hectare met veel riet en bos. Het is de groenstrook ten noorden van de Haarlemmertrekvaart en ten zuiden van het Westelijk havengebied. Vanaf de jaren zestig was het gebied een onderdeel van de opgespoten terreinen van de Amsterdamse haven. Omdat het gebied lang braak heeft gelegen hebben zich er spontane ontwikkelingen voorgedaan, zodat een ruig groen gebied ontstond. Mooi gebied voor zangvogels in vooral het voorjaar. Vogels die je kunt tegenkomen zijn мал трскар, блатен трскар, Мочварна овесарка, полски трскар, Синогушка, црноглаво грмушарче, градинарско грмушарче, обично грмушарче en свиларче. Ook de крекс is hier wel eens waargenomen.
