The nature reserves along the Nieuwe Zuiderlingedijk between Asperen and Spijk are especially worth visiting. Chirighiță neagră breed in the area. Corcodel mic, Corcodel mare and Pescăraș albastru breed here and there is a colony of Stârc cenușiu. The forests are rich in all kinds of songbirds under which Privighetoare roșcată, Codroș de pădure, Pițigoi de munte and sometimes Ciocănitoare pestriță mică and even Turturică. Also, during migration time, check out the two water storage lakes with, among other things, many Rață cu cap castaniu and other duck species. The reed marshes are important for numerous reed and marsh birds such as Gușă vânătă, Stufărică, Lăcar mic, Grelușel de stuf, Grelușel pătat, Cârstel de baltă, Stârc roșu and Erete de stuf.
