Beschrijving
Even the industrial/urban area in the north of this region harbours quite some good species in winter, like Smient, Krakeend, Kuifeend and Tafeleend. They can be common near te sewage works, as do gulls Dodaars and Grauwe Gans.
In recent years Roerdomp has become almost annual (often more then one) and some years Baardman turns up. There's a big breeding population of Kleine Karekiet (>20 pairs) as do Cetti's Zanger and Rietgors in small numbers. In some years even Blauwborst breeds here.
The meadow areas further to the south, especially those along the railway hold most of the time waders in late winter and spring. Grutto, Bosruiter, Witgat, Kemphaan, Kleine Plevier (breeds some years), Bonte Strandloper, Watersnip, Bokje and others are seen annual. In winter this area often holds Waterpieper. In wet years species as Zomertaling and Slobeend can be breeding here. Irregular breeders are Rietgors, Cetti's Zanger and Roodborsttapuit.
The area more to the south can hold IJsvogel, Grote Gele Kwikstaart, Roodborsttapuit and the same species mentioned earlier, but chances on these are more remote.
