Description
The dead arm of the Canal de la Deule has a length of one kilometer. It is possible to go around it. Next to the water is a small forest. So you can observe both water birds and forest birds. We regularly see there Grey Heron, Great Cormorant, Common Kingfisher, Mute Swan, Eurasian Coot and Eurasian Moorhen.

Français: Bras mort de la Deule, ancienne zone de stationnement de péniche. C'est un bras mort d'une longueur d'un kilomètre. Il est possible d'en faire le tour, bordé d'arbres et avec des possibilités pour les oiseaux de se poser sur des branches à la surfaces de l'eau. On y voit régulièrement Grey Heron, Great Cormorant, Common Kingfisher, Mute Swan, Eurasian Coot, Eurasian Moorhen.

Access
The Bras Mort is located 20 km south of Lille between the towns of Carvin and Courrières. You can park on the southern end of the dead arm. Press P on the map for directions. Be there early in the morning or in the evening to photograph Grey Heron. I photographed Common Kingfisher between 12.00 and 14.00 hours and it is visible quite regularly. But it remains difficult to photograph. A visit during weekdays is better than the weekend because in the weekend there is more traffic and quite a few anglers.

Français: On peut se garer au départ de bras mort. Tôt le matin ou le soir pour photographier le Grey Heron, j'ai photographié le Common Kingfisher entre 12 et 14 heures et il est visible assez régulièrement . Mais il reste difficle à photographier. La semaine est plus évidente que le week-end car il y a plus de passage et pas mal de pêcheurs.
