Beschrijving
All somewhat passionate Belgian birders have been on this platform as it is the only place in the country to see Korhoen. Although there is also a dark side as this population is on the brink of extinction. In 2016 less then 5 individuals remain, but since then conservation efforts are made as some Swedish birds are relocated to the area between 2017 and 2021 (around 20 individuals per year). They remain year-round on this location, altough the best months to see them are by far late February, March and April. During these periods it's possible to observe the courtship behavior of the males and often the females sit quite high in the trees. The best chance to see them is very early in the morning at dawn. Note that nowadays the area is only accessible with a guide.
Even if you don't manage to see them it's a very good location to see Blauwe Kiekendief , Klapekster , Raaf , Rode Wouw , Kraanvogel (only during migration periods, they do not breed in Belgium), Goudvink, Grauwe Klauwier , Boompieper and Zwarte Ooievaar.
