Beschrijving
Achna reservoir is an artificial lake with shallow, muddy areas that is partially surrounded by reeds. Water levels vary but as far as I know the lake never fully dries up. Waders and egrets like Groenpootruiter, Poelruiter, Woudaap, Zwarte Ibis and Ralreiger concentrate on the western edge of the water, while birds like Kleine Karekiet and Kleine Zwartkop frequent the reeds and bushes surrounding the lake. During migration, many raptors and cranes can be seen overhead.

Toegang
Achna Reservoir is located directly east of the town of Achna. Either park at the Antelia Bee Park that is situated just north of the reservoir or near the Arkastis Event Venue in the southeast. Press a P on the map for directions.
Fishermen tracks run around the water's edge and can be used by birdwatchers. A circular walk around the lake is about 9 km.

NeeExtra info
I'm told that the area might not be that productive during the winter months, because there are too many fishermen using the lake during that time of the year who scare many birds away.
