Descripción
The Donkmeer is one of Flanders biggest lakes of which a large portion of the lake and adjacent meadows are nature reserve. It's an excellent place during the wintering months to spot the mystique Avetoro Común. In the center of the lake there is a mixed breeding colony of Garza Real and Cormorán Grande. The Charrán Común and Gaviota Reidora als breed in the area on natural and artificial breeding islands. Irregular breeding birds are the Avetorillo común, Milano Negro and Martinete Común . From wide reed beds the songs of Cetia Ruiseñor , Ruiseñor Pechiazul and Carricerín Común can be heard in the spring and early summer. During the spring migration it's an excellent site to spot Águila Pescadora and rare migratory terns like Fumarel Común , Fumarel Aliblanco and Fumarel Cariblanco if you are lucky. In the swamps around the lake you have a good chance to see Pico Menor , Oropéndola Europea and Carbonero Montano . Quite spectacular during winter months (best period is January) are the massive amounts of gulls who come to overnight at the Nieuwdowk. Depending on the wintry weather over 15.000 Gaviota Reidora , 2.000 Gaviota Cana and 500 Gaviota argéntea europea can be seen.
