Beschrijving
The lakes at Whisby Nature Park are surrounded by grassland, marsh, scrub and willow carr. Elements of the original quarry landscape remain, with fragments of heathland, old hedgerows and a small oak woodland. In spring and summer, flocks of tits and finches are joined by warblers. The lakes attract feeding Oeverzwaluw and Boerenzwaluw, and Visdief nest on the islands. Tjiftjaf along with Rietzanger and Kleine Karekiet can be heard. Whisby Nature Park has also become synonymous with Nachtegaal. Another special bird is the Roerdomp. Autumn brings the first sight of winter birds such as Goudhaan, Barmsijs and Grote Gele Kwikstaart. In winter, the water levels are at their highest and wildfowl are numerous. The cold weather also brings with it huge murmurations of Spreeuw in their thousands, swarming and twisting across the misty lakes.
