Description
Tiendweg, named after the road on the southern side of the area, is an area within a large typical peat meadow landscape, called "Polder de Nesse". The area consists of a mixture of intensive and (narrow) extensive pastures on which cattle is held. The area is surrounded by a large ditch in which many waterfowl are present, like Чернь чубата, Нерозень and large numbers of Лиска звичайна. Also Пірникоза мала and Пірникоза велика are present. In the smaller ditches between the pastures, species like Чирянка мала, Чирянка велика and Широконіска північна are found. In spring and summer, herons, like Чапля руда and Чапля сіра hunt for frogs. Крячок річковий and small numbers of Крячок чорний can be seen hunting above the ditches after which they return to their nests in the surrounding area.
During the breeding season, the pastures are used as breeding habitat for several species of waders, like Грицик великий, Коловодник звичайний, Чайка чубата and Кульон великий. Besides waders, species like Жайворонок польовий, Щеврик лучний and Жовта плиска also breed here. Кам’янка звичайна is often seen on the pastures during migration. Лунь очеретяний hunts above these pastures. Often, Сапсан can be seen on the power lines, overlooking the area. In the northern part, a small forested area is present in which Канюк звичайний breeds. Also Яструб великий has been spotted here multiple times, and maybe even breeds there. On the fences surrounding the pastures, species like Трав'янка чорноголова can be spotted.
On the southwestern edge, the area is adjacent to the village of Ouderkerk aan den IJssel. There's a small park which is used by many common species of songbird. Especially during autumn migration, species like Золотомушка червоночуба and Золотомушка жовточуба can turn up here. Also Рибалочка блакитний can be seen around the large ditch in this corner.
On the northeastern part of the area, a "boezem" is present, called "Berkenwoudsche Lage Boezem". This type of landscape is used to collect water from the surounding pastures and dispose it off towards a river, in this case the "Hollandsche IJssel" river. The "boezem" consists of mainly wetland area with low forested parts and local reedbeds. The area attracts many waterbirds, but is especially good for waders during migration. Common species are Коловодник звичайний, Коловодник великий, Брижач and Набережник палеарктичний, but also scarcer species can be present here, like Коловодник чорний, Побережник чорногрудий and Сивка морська. In the reedbeds, common species of reedbird breed, like Очеретянка лучна, Очеретянка ставкова, Синьошийка and Вівсянка очеретяна. If you're lucky, a Кобилочка солов’їна or Очеретянка середземноморська can be heard. In the smaller bushes, species like Берестянка звичайна and Кропив’янка прудка can be present.
In winter, the area is mainly used by large flocks of geese and swans, like Гуска білолоба, Казарка білощока and Лебідь-шипун, and larger numbers of Чепура велика can be present. Sometimes Лунь польовий uses the area as foraging habitat.

Access
The area is easy accessable on foot, by bike and by car. The tarmac road on the southern part of the area leads to a deadend, but you can park your car at the end of the road. The best way to observe de area is to use the car and stop often to check the surrounding area until you reach the bicycle road at the end (dead end for cars). From there, you can make a walk next to the "boezem" to observe the wet areas on the other side of the large ditch. You can start or end with the park on the southern part of the area to look for migrants during migration.
