Description
Located South of Culemborg near the small village of Tricht, the "Nieuwe Hoeven" is a fairly small area consisting of a semi open landscape with pastures and damp meadows, surrounded by forests. Small reedbeds are located on the eastern side of the area. Especially in Spring and during migration in both Spring and Autumn, many species of songbird and wader can be seen here.
The fairly wet meadows are a great spot for species like Kızkuşu, Kızılbacak and Çamurçulluğu. Saz delicesi can often be seen hunting above these pastures. Some parts of the area are very wet, which make them a great spot for migrating waders, like Yeşil düdükçün and Yeşilbacak. Multiple pairs of Küçük halkalı cılıbıt can be seen here. Besides waders, it's a great spot for observing Dağ incirkuşu.
The small reedbeds on the eastern side of the area are a good spot for Bataklık kirazkuşu, Mavigerdan and Saz Kamışçını. Sometimes Su kılavuzu can be heard too and, with a bit of luck, a Benekli suyelvesi shows up.
The area is also great for foraging Leylek and in winter, fairly large numbers of Büyük ak balýkçýl and geese can be seen here too.
