Rață cârâitoare en Ciocîntors zijn meestal aan de zuidzijde te vinden, waar een ondiep watertje is uitgegraven. Ook Fâsă de luncă en Ciocârlie zijn te zien en te horen. Bij de ingang van de polder, links voorbij de werkschuur is een rietkraag waar Lăcar mic, Presură de stuf en Lăcar de stuf broeden. Erete de stuf zie je vaak boven de rietkraag aan de zuid- en oostzijde van de polder rondvliegen. Gâscă de vară, Gâscă călugăriță en Gâscă canadiană zijn rond het Alkmaardermeer en ook in de polder aanwezig en broeden in dit gebied. Codobatură galbenă en Codobatură albă laten zich ook wel zien. Let op overvliegende Chiră de baltă. In de winter komen hier duizenden Rață fluierătoare, die op het meer rusten en in de omliggende polders foerageren.
