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 Чайка чубата, Коловодник звичайний and Грицик великий. Лунь очеретяний 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 Коловодник лісовий and Коловодник великий. Multiple pairs of Пісочник малий can be seen here. Besides waders, it's a great spot for observing Щеврик гірський.
The small reedbeds on the eastern side of the area are a good spot for Вівсянка очеретяна, Синьошийка and Очеретянка ставкова. Sometimes Пастушок can be heard too and, with a bit of luck, a Погонич звичайний shows up.
The area is also great for foraging Лелека білий and in winter, fairly large numbers of Чепура велика and geese can be seen here too.
