Beschrijving
The Vijlenerbos is a forest area that extends over a length of about 8 km between Epen and the Drielandenpunt near Vaals. The forest borders Belgium for about 5 km and Germany for about 1 km. The forests consist of a quarter of coniferous forest and the rest of deciduous forest. Middelste Bonte Specht lives in the areas with older oak trees. Vuurgoudhaan is bound to medium to old coniferous forests. Kruisbek and Sijs breed regularly in these forests, as is Appelvink. In the open oak-birch forests, Fluiter is a regular guest. Kleine Bonte Specht, Glanskop, Boomklever and Grote Bonte Specht live in the old, varied parts of the deciduous forest. An inconspicuous species is the Houtsnip. Among the birds of prey, Wespendief, Havik and Sperwer can be found in the Vijlenerbos. Occasionally Boomvalk breeds in the area. Bosuil is a common species in the forest. Koekoek and Wielewaal also occur in low numbers. On the edges sometimes Grauwe Klauwier can be seen.
