Description

Étangs de Saint-Denis is a mix of private fishing and free ponds. It is marked out by paths. There is small streams where Isfugl may be observed. There are 3 public ponds where there is a lot of Stokkand but also other better wintering birds like Taffeland and Krikkand, etc. There is a small reed bed as well and some dead trees in the principal pond hosting many Storskarv. Among the forest birds that can be seen are Mellomspett, Toppmeis and Fuglekonge.

Il y a des petits ruisseaux où l'on peut observer un Isfugl, 3 étangs publics où l'on trouve beaucoup de Stokkand mais aussi d'autres oiseaux hivernants plus sympathiques comme le Taffeland, la Krikkand, etc. Il y a également une petite roselière et quelques arbres morts dans l'étang principal accueillant de nombreux Storskarv. Situés dans le bois on peut y observer des oiseaux plus forestiers: Mellomspett, Toppmeis, Fuglekonge.

Access

You have to park at the edge of the wood (several possible locations) and enter on foot. Bicycles are a very good solution but it is better to leave them outside the "entrance" to the ponds because the paths are narrow and often muddy.

Français : Il faut se garer en bordure du bois (plusieurs endroits possibles) et y entrer à pied. Le vélo est une très bonne solution mais il vaut mieux le laisser à l'extérieur de "l'entrée" des étangs parce que les sentiers sont étroits et souvent boueux.
