Opis
Migration site Culemborg, located in the "Redichemse Waard", is a very good location to observe migrating birds during spring and autumn migration. The site has two posts: one in the west for spring migration and one in the east for autumn migration. The site is located next to the river "Lek" and therefore ideal to observe migration over land by songbirds, like finches, swallows and pipits and migrants following the river, like gulls, terns and waterfowl.
Spring migration is often relaxed and low to medium numbers of birds pass overhead, especially compared to autumn migration. Swallows are often seen is small flocks, like dymówka, oknówka and brzegówka. Pipits and wagtails, like świergotek łąkowy, can pass overhead in huge numbers. Thrushes can be seen in small numbers, like paszkot and kwiczoł. Sometimes small flocks of drozd obrożny can pass overhead or even land near the post. Due to its location next to the river, species like rybołów can be seen often. Also harriers, falcons and buzzards, like błotniak stawowy and kobuz, can pass through the area while (partly) looking for prey. If you're lucky, a drzemlik passes you by. Waders are also often spotted, following the river, like batalion and kulik mniejszy.
Autumn migration can be very exciting. Huge numbers of migrants can pass overhead in a single morning. Waterfowl can be seen following the river in large flocks, like łabędź czarnodzioby, rożeniec and świstun. Many species of predatory birds pass overhead, especially later in the morning, like rybołów, Trzmielojad and błotniak zbożowy. If you're lucky, a bielik can be spotted. Large numbers of czajka roost in the area on the dams or pastures adjacent to the river. Scarce species that follow the river are mewa mała and mewa białogłowa. Huge numbers of songbird pass the area, like thousands of zięba, świergotek łąkowy, skowronek and thrushes. Also large flocks of grzywacz are often seen, flying in large bubble shaped patterns.
The site ifself consists of pastures with scattered trees and bushes. In spring, many species of common songbird breed here, like cierniówka and pierwiosnek. The fences surrounding the pastures are a good spot for kląskawka and pokląskwa. Near the river, zimorodek and brodziec piskliwy are often present and can pass you very close by. If you're lucky and quiet, a beaver might swim in front of you following the river. On the other side of the river, jastrząb breeds in the forested patch and can often be heard calling.

The area is fairly easy accessable. The western post is very easy to reach and a small trail leads to the post on the river dike. You'll have to climb a cattle fench first. The eastern post can be reached by climbing over two fenches (small, wooden steps are made to make your crossing easier), surrounding a fairly wet, wetland-like area. After much rainfall, this part can be very wet and sometimes the post is even unreachable. Just walk to the other post to observe migration.
