Beschrijving
The Weiherwald offers a great range of habitats (mixed alluvial woodland, shallow ponds, streams, ditches, meadows, gardens), all in a very small area and close to an urban environment. It is very accessible with paths for pedestrians and cyclists transecting the area. These paths have two benefits: they makes bird observations easy and also mean that the birds are not too shy. A circular walk of the location covers all the habitats mentioned above, with many variations and little detours possible.
There is a notable population of 20 or more Wintertaling present here in winter (and well into spring).
The Weiherwald is great for observing and hearing Woodpeckers, with five species possible all year round: Middelste Bonte Specht , Grote Bonte Specht and Groene Specht are common here and there is always a chance of Zwarte Specht and Kleine Bonte Specht, especially in winter.
The shallow ponds and ditches attract IJsvogel, which can be seen fishing or flying from one area of water to another. Grote Gele Kwikstaart are sometimes present, foraging along the water's edges.
Small flocks of Staartmees often roam the area, along with Sijs, Appelvink and the occasional Koperwiek in winter.
Late spring is a great time to listen to Wielewaal, Nachtegaal and Fitis. With a bit of luck Bonte Vliegenvanger can also be seen.
Other birds present all year round include Vuurgoudhaan, Boomklever, Boomkruiper and Glanskop.
In addition to the fantastic birdlife, the Weiherwald is also a hotspot for many (rare) amphibians and insects. No matter what time of year or day, there's always something to enjoy here!
