Descrição
The "Tichelgaten" is a fairly small natural area near the village of Buren and consists of several small ponds, reedbeds, pastures and small forested areas. Once, this area has been excavated for clay and has been turned into a small natural area since. The area is a good spot for many species of common songbird, woodpecker and small numbers of waterbirds. Frequently sighted species are Pica-pau-verde, Toutinegra-de-barrette-preto and Papa-moscas-cinzento. The small ponds and reedbeds are a great spot for rouxinol-dos-caniços, Mergulhão-pequeno and Guarda-rios-comum. The small forested area in the west provides good habitat for woodpeckers, like Pica-pau-malhado-grande and sometimes Pica-pau-malhado-pequeno. Scarcer species that can be found here are Papa-figos, Rouxinol-bravo, Bico-grossudo and Rouxinol-comum.
On the northern side of the road, the biggest pond is located and provides a great spot for many species of waterbird. In winter, fairly large numbers of Zarro-negrinha and Frisada can be found here. Sometimes, scarcer species like Merganso-grande and Zarro-comum might show up.
