Description
The Donkmeer is one of Flanders biggest lakes of which a large portion of the lake and adjacent meadows are nature reserve. It's an excellent place during the wintering months to spot the mystique голем воден бик. In the center of the lake there is a mixed breeding colony of сива чапја and голем корморан. The речна чигра and езерски галеб als breed in the area on natural and artificial breeding islands. Irregular breeding birds are the Мал воден бик, црна луња and ноќна чапја . From wide reed beds the songs of свиларче , Синогушка and мал трскар can be heard in the spring and early summer. During the spring migration it's an excellent site to spot орел рибар and rare migratory terns like црна рибарка , белокрила рибарка and белобрада рибарка if you are lucky. In the swamps around the lake you have a good chance to see мал клукајдрвец , саријазма and планинска сипка . Quite spectacular during winter months (best period is January) are the massive amounts of gulls who come to overnight at the Nieuwdowk. Depending on the wintry weather over 15.000 езерски галеб , 2.000 обичен галеб and 500 Сребренест галеб can be seen.
