Description
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 Ghionoaie verde, Silvie cu cap negru and Muscar sur. The small ponds and reedbeds are a great spot for Lăcar de stuf, Corcodel mic and Pescăraș albastru. The small forested area in the west provides good habitat for woodpeckers, like Ciocănitoare pestriță mare and sometimes Ciocănitoare pestriță mică. Scarcer species that can be found here are Grangur, Stufărică, Botgros and Privighetoare roșcată.
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 Rață moțată and Rață pestriță can be found here. Sometimes, scarcer species like Ferestraș mare and Rață cu cap castaniu might show up.
