A mosaic of water, reed, swamp groves and grasslands in the excavated peat. That is De Deelen, in the heart of the province of Friesland. In autumn and winter, thousands of ducks and geese, including Eurasian Wigeon, Greater White-fronted Goose, Northern Shoveler and Barnacle Goose come to De Deelen. Rare species such as Black Tern, Purple Heron and Western Marsh Harrier also live in the area. If you listen carefully, you may be able to hear the Grasshopper Warbler singing in the spring.
