Beschrijving
The Westpark is a good place for watching more common birds. The pond is home to many Wilde Eend, some Nijlgans, Meerkoet and Waterhoen. In the trees you can find Staartmees, Boomkruiper, Boomklever and Grote Bonte Specht. If you walk around the pond, it is possible to see almost all of the listed birds.
In the summer the park had a breeding pair of Grote Canadese Gans. Sometimes a Blauwe Reiger flies and lands near the water. At least in the autumn there are some Aalscholver resting here. IJsvogel lives in the area, which you might be able to spot.
