Description

At the SE exit of Brussels, in a green setting lies a large pond on the edge of the Forêt de Soignes (forest). Surrounded by park, tree-lined slopes and footpath. This pond is home to many common nesting birds in Brussels but has some nice surprises in store like Rindilþvari, Kolþerna, Hvinönd, Dverggoði, Keldusvín and Bláþyrill.
