Description

Only birds?

It’s not just bird-watching in the Drentsche Aa. But here also come for Beavers and occasionally they show themselves. This area consists of a maze of small streams that form the Drentsche Aa and eventually the Drentsche Aa. It’s a wonder that this beautiful area still exists and has such magnitude. It is even the largest untouched flow area of its kind in Europe! It had very nearly fifty years ago this area was straightened for land consolidation. But fortunately, it came just in time to realize that this would be a mortal sin. The area is shared with the farmers in the area, along with the nature organizations they manage the area. This would preserve the ancient cultural landscape of Drenthe. At De Punt water is extracted from the Drentsche Aa water for the city of Groningen. This is only possible because the water is very clean, as no pesticides should be used in the vicinity of the basin.
The species that we can see here in the figure are the Golden Oriole, Buzzard, Marsh Harrier, Hawfinch, Bullfinch, Yellowhammer, Reed Bunting, Marsh Warbler, Common Kingfisher, Sparrowhawk, Lesser Spotted Woodpecker, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Green Woodpecker, Red-backed Shrike, Stonechat and with lots of luck a Red-Black Kite.
