Beschreibung
Holland Haven has a great reputation for being well watched by local birders. Situated along the coast this area get lots of interesting migrants that drop into the flooded scrape or the scrubland. Right next to the car park is an area of cover with some bushes which are always worth a search though for small passerines such as, Sommergoldhähnchen, Grauschnäpper, Trauerschnäpper and Gelbbrauen-Laubsänger.
Then as you walk towards the hide and the scrape, you need to scan the coastline. Here is a concrete structure where you may well find Meerstrandläufer which the site is well known for. If the tide is low and the mudflats are exposed you may see, Großer Brachvogel, Austernfischer, Pfuhlschnepfe, Kiebitzregenpfeifer, Steinwälzer and Sanderling.
Looking out to sea one may find Basstölpel flying passed and also Sterntaucher alongside Trauerente and Mittelsäger. Plus the usual suspects of gull species .
Now you can walk away from the shoreline up to the ridge where you get a good view over the marsh and grazing meadows. Keep an eye out for overwintering geese, Graugans , Bläßgans and Kanadagans. Its possible to see Kiebitz ,Großer Brachvogel and the odd small party of Regenbrachvogel feeding in the long grass.
Next is the flooded scrape area for such birds as, Krickente, Pfeifente, Löffelente, Brandgans and Ringelgans. Many waders can be spotted including Säbelschnäbler, Rotschenkel, Grünschenkel, Flußuferläufer, Waldwasserläufer, Uferschnepfe and Alpenstrandläufer.
The marsh and grassland is a great hunting ground for raptors and regularly see Schleiereule, Rohrweihe, Wanderfalke and the odd Kornweihe.
