Description

The Autrichepolder is a recently constructed water and marshland. From the canal dike you have a beautiful view over the area. It can be very rich in birds with large numbers of ducks and geese: Rață mare, Călifar alb, Rață lingurar, Rață pestriță, Rață mică, Rață moțată, Gâscă de vară, Gâscă canadiană and in winter Gârliță mare and Tundra Bean Goose. Waders and meadow birds also know how to find the area, such as Becațină comună, Nagâț, Scoicar, Ciocîntors, Fluierar cu picioare roșii and occasionally Prundăraș gulerat mic. In the summer you have a chance to see Corcodel cu gât negru.
