Description

The reservoir of Eeckhoven has a spacious bird hide that offers the opportunity to observe quietly. (Κοκκινόλαιμο) Νανοβουτηχτάρι, Σκουφοβουτηχτάρι, Μαυροκέφαλη Πάπια, (Ευρωπαϊκό) Κιρκίρι, Γκισάρι, (Κοινή) Φαλαρίδα, (Ευρωπαϊκός) Κορμοράνος often swim right in front of the bird hide. Σταχτοτσικνιάς, Ασημόγλαρος του Βορά, Αργυροτσικνιάς and other gulls are further away, so a telescope is useful. Sometimes you can spot a rare visitor like Ring-billed Gull.
