Recordist's notes

Eastern border of the former development plans: The Wetlands between Wilhem Lange Strasse and the Motorway are a recent development meant to collect excess water, which would be running of the planned industrial area. In other season’s it has become a paradise for birds. On the rich heavy soil of the area even maize is growing without artificial watering; streams and drainage systems were even once a source for a local fishing industry… Am Anfang des neuen Feuchtwassergebietes, oder besser der sogenannten “Ersatz-Aue” oder “Regenrückhaltebecken”… zu anderen Jahreszeiten ein Paradies für brühtende Vögel… http://www.weetfeld.de “Citizen Association Against the Destruction of the Weetfeld Environment” (Bürgergemeinschaft gegen die Zerstörung der Weetfelder Landschaft)
