Beschrijving

The Weidmoos was originally an extensive raised bog. For many decades, peat was extracted here on an industrial level. After abandonment, the Weidmoos developed into a bird habitat of European significance. Over 150 species of bird have been identified so far. The Blauwborst is often to be seen at the Weidmoos, whilst Bruine Kiekendief preys over the extensive reeded areas, and rare waders and waterfowl such as Watersnip and Porseleinhoen are breeding here. Bosruiter, Kemphaan, Purperreiger and other migrating birds use the Weidmoos as an important stopover site.
