Description
The Callemoeie is a decommisioned sand extraction pit that features (deep) open water, a beach, some willow bushes and reedbeds. It attracts large number of birds, all year round, but viewing conditions are often terrible as the site is fenced. Depending on reed and willow size, you can only see half of the beach, and also a large part of the open water is not easily viewable. Nevertheless this site is one of the top sites in the region and often provides some surprises. The sandy beach is unique in the region (where mudflads are more common) and is an excellent place for waders (Vanneau huppé, Bécasseau variable, Grand Gravelot , Huîtrier pie) and many more) during migration (spring and fall). Also large groups of geese (Bernache du Canada, Ouette d'Égypte, Oie cendrée) rest on the beach, in winter and spring together with ducks (Canard chipeau, Canard siffleur, Canard souchet. The deep lake attrackts ducks (Fuligule morillon, Fuligule milouin, sometimes Fuligule milouinan) and grebes (Grèbe huppé, Grèbe à cou noir, Grèbe castagneux). The lake is also a sleeping area for gulls during winter (all regional species, but also Goéland pontique in winter). During migration terns (Sterne pierregarin, Guifette noire) visit the lake, and it is one of the better places to find Mouette pygmée in Flanders.
It is difficult to see birds in the reedbeds and willow bushes, but you can often hear Bouscarle de Cetti, Bruant des roseaux or Rossignol philomèle.
