Beschrijving
The Steinhorster Becken is a fairly recent, human-made, nature reserve consisting of a mosaic of habitats, like reedbeds, freshwater ponds with islands and wetlands. The area serves as both resting and foraging for many species of bird.
In winter, the area is great for observing ducks, geese and herons, like Kuifeend, Slobeend, Brandgans, Kolgans, Blauwe Reiger and Grote Zilverreiger. The ponds are also a great place to observe Grote Zaagbek.
In spring, the area is used by Kraanvogel to rest when migrating northwards to their breeding grounds. Other migrating species that often can be found here are Visarend, Zwarte Ooievaar and Slechtvalk. The area is also home to many breeding species, like Kokmeeuw, Kievit, Fuut and Wulp. From 2010 on, the area is also home to a breeding pair of Ooievaar.
