Beschrijving
Hovvig is a large bird sanctuary. The area is in actual fact an "unsuccessful" attempt at land reclamation which has now developed into beautiful wetlands with an abundance of birdlife and a newly established colony of Aalscholver. Very nice bird observation towers from where one can overview most of the area. All year round Zeearend. Spring, summer and fall ducks, waders, raptors, and songbirds.
Many waterfowl breed here: Dodaars, Fuut, Roodhalsfuut, Knobbelzwaan, Grauwe Gans, Bergeend, Wilde Eend, Tafeleend, Kuifeend. Waterral, Meerkoet, Kievit, Watersnip. In addition Noordse Nachtegaal, Rietzanger, Kleine Karekiet. Baardman and Buidelmees have bred with a few pairs. There is the large Aalscholver colony in the trees at the northwest border of the reserve.
Furthermore many more migratory birds and raptors can be seen here. To name a few birds of prey seen in the area: Wespendief, Rode Wouw, Zeearend, Bruine Kiekendief, Blauwe Kiekendief, Havik, Sperwer, Buizerd, Ruigpootbuizerd, Visarend , Torenvalk, Smelleken and Boomvalk.
