Description
The Gevaert Vijvers are ponds that were created along the Molenbeek in the Middle Ages by the monastry for fish production. Nowadays most ponds are in private ownership and fenced but one can still enjoy some birding from the public footpath (Visserspad) that follows the stream. The ponds attract some waterfowl such as Sarcelle d'hiver, Fuligule morillon and Canard chipeau. In recent years, Grand Cormoran and Grande Aigrette have become a more common sight. During migration, and especially when water levels are low, the muddy shores attract some passing waders such as Chevalier guignette, Chevalier culblanc and Chevalier aboyeur. Interesting breeding birds are: Martin-pêcheur d'Europe, Bergeronnette des ruisseaux and Gros-bec casse-noyaux.
