The Dutch environmental group Natuurmonumenten has prepared an area in the Voorsterbos woods of Flevoland as an idea breeding zone for birds. The area, called Zwarte Hoek, or Black Corner, is 28 hectares.
Over the past winter excavating machines released water into the area. Over 26,000 square meters of earth was moved in order to make shallow ponds and streams – ideal feeding grounds for wading birds.
Visitors can view the new area from a bird hide placed on the Zwartemeerdijk.
