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 zelena žolna, črnoglavka and sivi muhar. The small ponds and reedbeds are a great spot for srpična trstnica, mali ponirek and vodomec. The small forested area in the west provides good habitat for woodpeckers, like veliki detel and sometimes mali detel. Scarcer species that can be found here are kobilar, svilnica, dlesk and slavec.

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 čopasta črnica and konopnica can be found here. Sometimes, scarcer species like veliki žagar and sivka might show up.
