Beschrijving
Brockholes was previously a sand and gravel quarry and has been transformed into a natural haven. Fields brimming with orchids and yellow rattle, woods shining bright with bluebells. The land has been regenerated as a mosaic of key habitats such as pools, reedbeds and woodland. In spring birds like Kievit, Scholekster, Tureluur and more breed on Meadow Lake and Number 1 Pit. In May, Regenwulp roost in large numbers, while throughout spring and summer swifts, Oeverzwaluw and Boomvalk create aerial displays over the lakes. Autumn is the time to see Visarend passing over Brockholes on their way back to Africa, while in winter, the reserve is packed with migratory waders. Other birds you can see here are Putter, Staartmees, Zwarte Mees, Rietzanger, IJsvogel, Wulp and Kuifeend.
