Descrizione
The Spuikom is a brackish water body, originally build for flushing the Oostende harbor (but never used for it). Located close to the coast, it attracts a lot of coastal birds and often provides nice views of birds which are otherwise to be seen at a far distance at sea. From fall to spring the Spuikom can attract many species of waterbirds. Often Quattrocchi, Svasso maggiore, Tuffetto and Folaga are common. Over the last years it has also proven to be a good place for species such as Moretta grigia, Edredone, Orchetto marino, Orco marino, Moretta codona, Smergo maggiore, Smergo minore, Pesciaiola, Svasso collorosso, Svasso piccolo, Svasso cornuto, Falaropo beccolargo, Strolaga minore, Strolaga maggiore, Strolaga mezzana. Checking the Oyster Breeder often yields Martin pescatore and waders (Pavoncella, Voltapietre and others), and Sterna comune during breeding season.
Viewing conditions can be challenging, especially when it is windy. Often the ducks are in the middle of the water body. The Spuikom is used for recreation (mainly sailing), which can disturb the birds. During winter recreation is not allowed in some zones, leaving always some quiet places for birds.
