Descripción
The Kalkense Meersen is one of the last strongholds of the Aguja Colinegra in Flanders. Annually around 30 breeding pairs can be seen between the hedgerows in the grasslands and meadows. As you walk on the paves between the pollarded willows you go back to medieval times. This habitat is ideal for Mochuelo Europeo , Búho Chico , Avefría Europea , Tarabilla común , Codorniz Común , Cigüeña Blanca and Colirrojo Real . The small streams, ditches and ponds with an abundance of reed vegetation attract Ruiseñor Pechiazul , Carricerín Común , Buscarla Pintoja , Martín Pescador Común and with some luck you can even hear a Polluela Pintoja calling from the meadows. During winter times alot of 'arctic geese' species come to overwinter on the grasslands, mainly Ánsar común and Ánsar careto mixed in with flocks of Silbón Europeo.
In the most southern part you can find the subarea 'Wijmeers Ontpoldering' which is connection with the Scheldt river. This area is part of the Sigmaplan to protect the Flemish region from floods. Due to the unique tidal moment of the Scheldt river natural mudflats are created. During migration periods this is an excellent place to spot migrating wader birds like Andarríos Bastardo , Archibebe Claro , Andarríos Chico , Correlimos Común , Archibebe Común , Andarríos Grande and many more. It's also a good site to see Espátula Común , Garceta Común , Pico Menor or Agachadiza común.
In total over 220 native bird species have been seen in the Kalkense Meersen in the last 20 years. Around 170 native bird species are seen annually.
