Descrição
Nearly halfway between Charleroi and Namur, and a stone's toss away from both of those, the Lac de Bambois is a multi-purpose resort in the middle of the Wallonian countryside. While it is most well known for its several well-maintained gardens and its inland beach, it is also a good place for birdwatching, thanks to the presence of a couple of multi-storey hideouts placed at strategic locations around the lake, with good visibility on most of the area.
Common birds seen at this location include Escrevedeira-dos-caniços, Zarro-negrinha, Garça-branca-grande, Guarda-rios-comum, Garça-branca-pequena, rouxinol-dos-caniços, and many others. It is also an occasional migratory halt for the Águia-pesqueira.
