Beschrijving
The Krickenbecker Seen consist of four fairly large lakes, which originated between the 16th and 19th century due to peat extraction. In 1938, the area became a protected nature reserve due to its large variety of flora and fauna. Especially in winter, the area is a very good location for waterfowl, like ducks, geese and herons. The surrounding forests are good for songbirds and woodpeckers.
The two largest lakes, called Glabbacher Bruch and Hinsbecker Bruch, contain the largest numbers of waterfowl during the winter months. Large flocks of Wilde Eend, Tafeleend, Slobeend and Krakeend can be found in flocks of 100+ individuals. Also Grote Zaagbek and Nonnetje can be observed fairly regularly. During autumn migration, the area is apparently favorable for migrating waterbirds, like Zwarte Stern and Dwergmeeuw. In the last ten years, even observations of Drieteenmeeuw, Reuzenstern and Vorkstaartmeeuw have been made.
The two smaller lakes, called Schrolik and Poelvenn, are located on the western side of the larger lakes and are also a very good spot for waterfowl, but in smaller numbers. Species like Wintertaling can be found here too. The shores are covered more with reedbeds and therefore a very good place for reedbirds, like Kleine Karekiet and Rietgors and sometimes even Sprinkhaanzanger, Baardman and Blauwborst.
The lakes are connected to the Nette river, which is a very good location for IJsvogel and Grote Gele Kwikstaart.
The area is also a good spot for migrating raptors, especially above the lakes, like Rode Wouw, Zwarte Wouw and Visarend.
The surrounding forests are an ideal location for typical forest species, Zwartkop, Gekraagde Roodstaart and Bonte Vliegenvanger. Also, many woodpeckers can be found here, like Middelste Bonte Specht and Zwarte Specht.
