Descrizione
The Kalkense Meersen is one of the last strongholds of the Pittima reale in Flanders. Annually around 30 breeding pairs can be seen between the hedgerows in the grasslands and meadows. As you walk on the paves between the pollarded willows you go back to medieval times. This habitat is ideal for Civetta , Gufo comune , Pavoncella , Saltimpalo , Quaglia , Cicogna bianca and Codirosso . The small streams, ditches and ponds with an abundance of reed vegetation attract Pettazzurro , Forapaglie comune , Forapaglie macchiettato , Martin pescatore and with some luck you can even hear a Voltolino calling from the meadows. During winter times alot of 'arctic geese' species come to overwinter on the grasslands, mainly Oca selvatica and Oca lombardella mixed in with flocks of Fischione.
In the most southern part you can find the subarea 'Wijmeers Ontpoldering' which is connection with the Scheldt river. This area is part of the Sigmaplan to protect the Flemish region from floods. Due to the unique tidal moment of the Scheldt river natural mudflats are created. During migration periods this is an excellent place to spot migrating wader birds like Piro piro boschereccio , Pantana , Piro piro piccolo , Piovanello pancianera , Pettegola , Piro piro culbianco and many more. It's also a good site to see Spatola , Garzetta , Picchio rosso minore or Beccaccino.
In total over 220 native bird species have been seen in the Kalkense Meersen in the last 20 years. Around 170 native bird species are seen annually.
