Opis
Located South of Culemborg near the small village of Tricht, the "Nieuwe Hoeven" is a fairly small area consisting of a semi open landscape with pastures and damp meadows, surrounded by forests. Small reedbeds are located on the eastern side of the area. Especially in Spring and during migration in both Spring and Autumn, many species of songbird and wader can be seen here.
The fairly wet meadows are a great spot for species like czajka, krwawodziób and rycyk. błotniak stawowy can often be seen hunting above these pastures. Some parts of the area are very wet, which make them a great spot for migrating waders, like samotnik and kwokacz. Multiple pairs of sieweczka rzeczna can be seen here. Besides waders, it's a great spot for observing siwerniak.
The small reedbeds on the eastern side of the area are a good spot for potrzos, podróżniczek and trzcinniczek (zwyczajny). Sometimes wodnik (zwyczajny) can be heard too and, with a bit of luck, a kropiatka shows up.
The area is also great for foraging bocian biały and in winter, fairly large numbers of czapla biała and geese can be seen here too.
