Description

Between Petten and Camperduin, in the Harger- and Pettemerpolder, nature reserve De Putten is located. This area originates from the middle 19th century. It consists of old clay excavation areas, from which the clay was used to strengthen the adjacent dykes. De Putten contains brackish water and contains lots of nutrients. Therefore, the area is very popular for many species of bird, like gulls, terns and waders. This area can be observed best from the dyke. Species that can be seen here are Ciocîntors , Chiră de mare , Sitar de mal nordic , Fugaci de țărm , Lopătar and Fluierar cu picioare roșii.

Nederlands: Tussen Petten en Camperduin, in de Harger- en Pettemerpolder, ligt het natuurreservaat De Putten. Dit reservaat is in het midden van de 19e eeuw ontstaan. Het bestaat uit kleiputten, die toen zijn gegraven door dijkenbouwers van de Hondsbossche Zeewering die de kleigrond gebruikten om de dijken te verhogen en te verstevigen. De Putten bevat brak water: een mengsel van zoet regenwater en zout zeewater, dat diep onder de dijk doorsijpelt. Brak water bevat veel voedsel en is daarom geliefd bij veel vogelsoorten, zoals trekvogels. Dit gebied is goed te zien vanaf de Hondsbossche Zeewering. Bekijk hier Ciocîntors , Chiră de mare , Sitar de mal nordic , Fugaci de țărm , Lopătar en Fluierar cu picioare roșii.
