Description

Kattenleger is an area where interesting birds are regularly observed. Despite the close proximity of the A15 motorway and the Betuwe railway line, the reed areas in particular offer a chance for nice species such as bobnarica and brkata sinica. You will almost certainly encounter trstni strnad, lišček, srpična trstnica and zelenonoga tukalica but also a chance of Mokož, rjavi lunj and mali ponirek.
