Description
The Buitenwaard is a floodplain area that is partly still used agriculturally. The area also has a tree-lined lake. In the grasslands large groups of geese are present, especially in the winter months. You can also often see large groups of голем српоклун свиркач and sometimes златно блатарче. In the summer months you can hear one of the few полска чучулига that can be seen singing in the wide area. Other species here include Обична (Црнонокна) ветрушка, ливадска трепетилка, црвенонога тринга, планинско ливадарче, Жолта тресиопашка, конопјарче and regularly during migration обично ливадарче and обично камењарче. Also a chance to observe јастреб кокошкар. Rarities that have been seen are голема стрнарка and крекс.
_________________________
Nederlands: De Buitenwaard is een uiterwaardengebied met kruidenrijk grasland en deels nog maïsvelden langs de Lek in de gemeenten Houten en Wijk bij Duurstede. Het gebied is deels nog agrarisch in gebruik. In de waard is een met bomen omzoomde plas gelegen, lokaal bekend als ‘de Heul’. In de graslanden zijn met name in het winterhalfjaar (grote) groepen ganzen aanwezig. Ook zijn hier vaak flinke groepen голем српоклун свиркач te zien en soms златно блатарче. In de zomermaanden kun je hier een van de weinige полска чучулига die in de wijde omgeving te zien is horen zingen. Andere soorten hier zijn onder meer Обична (Црнонокна) ветрушка, ливадска трепетилка, црвенонога тринга, планинско ливадарче, Жолта тресиопашка, конопјарче en regelmatig tijdens de trek обично ливадарче en обично камењарче. Zeldzame gasten die in de hooilanden zijn gezien zijn голема стрнарка en крекс. Let ook op de јастреб кокошкар.

The area will be partly excavated in the future to create secondary channels for river widening and nature development. As a result, the bird population will probably change considerably.
