Descrição

The Callemoeie is a decommisioned sand extraction pit that features (deep) open water, a beach, some willow bushes and reedbeds. It attracts large number of birds, all year round, but viewing conditions are often terrible as the site is fenced. Depending on reed and willow size, you can only see half of the beach, and also a large part of the open water is not easily viewable. Nevertheless this site is one of the top sites in the region and often provides some surprises. The sandy beach is unique in the region (where mudflads are more common) and is an excellent place for waders (Abibe-comum, Pilrito-comum, Borrelho-grande-de-coleira , Ostraceiro) and many more) during migration (spring and fall). Also large groups of geese (Ganso do Canadá, Ganso do Egipto, Ganso-comum) rest on the beach, in winter and spring together with ducks (Frisada, Piadeira, Pato-trombeteiro. The deep lake attrackts ducks (Zarro-negrinha, Zarro-comum, sometimes Zarro-bastardo) and grebes (Mergulhão-de-crista, Mergulhão-de-pescoço-preto, Mergulhão-pequeno). The lake is also a sleeping area for gulls during winter (all regional species, but also Gaivota-de-patas-amarelas in winter). During migration terns (Andorinha-do-mar-comum, Gaivina-preta) visit the lake, and it is one of the better places to find Gaivota-pequena in Flanders.

It is difficult to see birds in the reedbeds and willow bushes, but you can often hear Rouxinol-bravo, Escrevedeira-dos-caniços or Rouxinol-comum.
