Beschrijving
Tiendweg, named after the road on the southern side of the area, is an area within a large typical peat meadow landscape, called "Polder de Nesse". The area consists of a mixture of intensive and (narrow) extensive pastures on which cattle is held. The area is surrounded by a large ditch in which many waterfowl are present, like Kuifeend, Krakeend and large numbers of Meerkoet. Also Dodaars and Fuut are present. In the smaller ditches between the pastures, species like Wintertaling, Zomertaling and Slobeend are found. In spring and summer, herons, like Purperreiger and Blauwe Reiger hunt for frogs. Visdief and small numbers of Zwarte Stern can be seen hunting above the ditches after which they return to their nests in the surrounding area.
During the breeding season, the pastures are used as breeding habitat for several species of waders, like Grutto, Tureluur, Kievit and Wulp. Besides waders, species like Veldleeuwerik, Graspieper and Gele Kwikstaart also breed here. Tapuit is often seen on the pastures during migration. Bruine Kiekendief hunts above these pastures. Often, Slechtvalk can be seen on the power lines, overlooking the area. In the northern part, a small forested area is present in which Buizerd breeds. Also Havik has been spotted here multiple times, and maybe even breeds there. On the fences surrounding the pastures, species like Roodborsttapuit can be spotted.
On the southwestern edge, the area is adjacent to the village of Ouderkerk aan den IJssel. There's a small park which is used by many common species of songbird. Especially during autumn migration, species like Vuurgoudhaan and Goudhaan can turn up here. Also IJsvogel can be seen around the large ditch in this corner.
On the northeastern part of the area, a "boezem" is present, called "Berkenwoudsche Lage Boezem". This type of landscape is used to collect water from the surounding pastures and dispose it off towards a river, in this case the "Hollandsche IJssel" river. The "boezem" consists of mainly wetland area with low forested parts and local reedbeds. The area attracts many waterbirds, but is especially good for waders during migration. Common species are Tureluur, Groenpootruiter, Kemphaan and Oeverloper, but also scarcer species can be present here, like Zwarte Ruiter, Bonte Strandloper and Zilverplevier. In the reedbeds, common species of reedbird breed, like Rietzanger, Kleine Karekiet, Blauwborst and Rietgors. If you're lucky, a Snor or Cetti's Zanger can be heard. In the smaller bushes, species like Spotvogel and Braamsluiper can be present.
In winter, the area is mainly used by large flocks of geese and swans, like Kolgans, Brandgans and Knobbelzwaan, and larger numbers of Grote Zilverreiger can be present. Sometimes Blauwe Kiekendief uses the area as foraging habitat.

Toegang
The area is easy accessable on foot, by bike and by car. The tarmac road on the southern part of the area leads to a deadend, but you can park your car at the end of the road. The best way to observe de area is to use the car and stop often to check the surrounding area until you reach the bicycle road at the end (dead end for cars). From there, you can make a walk next to the "boezem" to observe the wet areas on the other side of the large ditch. You can start or end with the park on the southern part of the area to look for migrants during migration.
