Description

Noue de Moignelée is an old meander of the river Sambre, before its channeling. It is dominated to the north by a steep and entirely wooded slope, while the flat southern bank is maintained for angling. The vegetation is relatively well developed and notably includes fringes of broad-leaved cattails and aquatic glyceria, interrupted by a few large willows and alders. Among the birds you can expect are Patka Žličarka, Krunata Patka, Močvarna Strnadica, Slavuj, Vodomar, Mali Gnjurac, Šljuka Kokošica and Crnokrila Prutka as well as numerous dragonflies. Between the old meander and the Sambre there is marshy land which has been put back under water and also interesting to check out.
