An old clay quarry which nowadays is filled with water and reedbeds. The surrounding walls give a very good view over the area.

Beschrijving

The area consists of the ponds, reedbeds and surrounding moist meadows. The fact that the area is quite small and is easy to overview gives very good observations of birds.

The ponds themselves aren't very rich in birdlife, but the species that áre present make the area special. Zwarte Stern can be seen fishing and sometimes even nesting in the ponds. Roerdomp are breeding in the reedbeds. Other species that can be seen or heard are Waterral and Rietgors.

In the surrounding area, damp meadows, marshes and open fields with scattered trees and dense shrubberies are located. When walking through the area listen for Buidelmees, which in some years is breeding in the area. Other birds of interest can be Zomertaling, Boomvalk, Sprinkhaanzanger, Ooievaar, Watersnip, Grutto, Watersnip and Visarend.

On the south side of the ponds, a birdingtower is located which gives a slightly (due to vegetation) narrow view of the area. From the tower leads a path south through the meadows and shrubland in which Sprinkhaanzanger and Buidelmees can be heard.
