Quote from a birder that stayed recently in Vosseven Nature Park “We visited many of the bird areas in the Kempen-Broek that are described on Birdingplaces. Most of them we could easily reach on foot or by bike from Vosseven Nature Park, it's all quite close. Beautiful sites like Wijffelterbroek, Smeetshof, Kettingdijk, Tungelerwallen, Laurabossen and the outstanding De Luysen - Mariahof. We saw many special birds such as Golden Oriole, Great Bittern, Little Bittern, Kingfisher, Hobby, European Turtle Dove, Spoonbill and Red-backed Shrike and lots of other bird species.”
