Descrizione

At high tide (check the tide table, see the link below) in the Mokbaai many different species of birds will gather on the higher parts of the area and can be quite numerous, especially in times of migration. Chiurlo maggiore, Pittima minore, Piviere dorato, Spatola and Piovanello pancianera can hardly be missed. In winter, many ducks like Fischione, Canapiglia, Codone and Edredone are abundant, while Falco pellegrino can be found disturbing the scene. Piovanello maggiore and Piovanello comune may be found on the mudflats and the reed beds in the southwest corner are home to Basettino, Pettazzurro, Migliarino di palude and Cannaiola. You can be lucky to find a Garzetta or even a Airone bianco maggiore, but the place is also known for rarities, like Gabbiano corallino (spring), Sterna maggiore (summer) and is often visited by Falco pescatore (migration).

_________________________

Nederlands: De Mokbaai is een landinwaarts gelegen kwelder met hogere en lagere delen. De hogere delen hebben vegetatie en riet, de lagere delen hebben schelpenbanken. Bij vloed (zie link naar getijdentabel beneden) verzamelen zich in de Mokbaai veel verschillende soorten vogels op de hogere delen van het gebied en kunnen ze behoorlijk talrijk zijn, vooral in tijden van trek. Chiurlo maggiore, Pittima minore, Piviere dorato, Spatola en Piovanello pancianera zijn vaak te zien. In de winter zijn er veel eenden zoals Fischione, Canapiglia, Codone en Edredone, terwijl Falco pellegrino het tafereel kan verstoren. Op het wad zijn Piovanello maggiore en Piovanello comune te vinden en in de rietvelden in de zuidwestelijke hoek leven Basettino, Pettazzurro, Migliarino di palude en Cannaiola. Je kunt geluk hebben om een Garzetta of zelfs een Airone bianco maggiore te vinden, maar de plek staat ook bekend om zeldzaamheden, zoals Gabbiano corallino (lente), Sterna maggiore (zomer) en wordt vaak bezocht door Falco pescatore (tijdens de trek).

Dettagli

Accesso

You can drive, walk or cycle around the Mokbaai, but from the road, the north side is hidden behind dunes. The south/south-western side is open and offers great views on the groups of birds on the mudflats, while the scrubs behind you may offer a concert of singing birds in spring, like Usignolo, Sterpazzola, Bigiarella, Passera scopaiola and many more. If you're lucky, you will find a singing Pettazzurro.

Nederlands: Je kunt rond de Mokbaai rijden, wandelen of fietsen, maar vanaf de weg is de noordkant verscholen achter duinen. De zuid/zuidwest kant is open en biedt een prachtig uitzicht op de groepen vogels op het wad, terwijl het struikgewas achter je in het voorjaar een concert van zingende vogels kan bieden, zoals Usignolo, Sterpazzola, Bigiarella, Passera scopaiola en nog veel meer. Als je geluk hebt, vind je een zingende Pettazzurro.

Nederlands: De weg rond de baai leidt naar een militair kamp, dus er kunnen wat auto's langskomen, soms met hoge snelheid om de veerboot te halen. Blijf alsjeblieft niet stilstaan midden op de weg. De bermen zijn breed en sterk genoeg.
