Descrição
Between 1948 - 1996 a British ammunition depot was situated on this location and stored about 50.000 tons of ammunition. The area is located on the western side of the city of Brüggen and has a total of six entrances. The depot is completely fenced to retain the population of wild animals, like Fallow Deer and Wild Boar. The area consists of a semi-open landscape of (mainly) pine forests and heathland areas and still contains the remnants of the old depot, like buildings, watchtowers and bunkers.
The heathland area contains scattered trees and bushes and is a very good location for typical heathland species, like Cartaxo-comum and Cotovia-pequena. It has a fairly good population of Noitibó da Europa, which can be seen and heard in especially late spring. Other species that can be found on these heathland areas are Escrevedeira-amarela, Petinha-das-árvores and sometimes Cartaxo-nortenho. Some parts of the depot are especially good for Picanço-grande in winter.
The (mainly) pine forests are an ideal breeding habitat for many species of common songbird, like Rabirruivo-de-testa-branca, Trepadeira-comum and Felosa-musical. Other breeding species are Chapim-de-poupa, Chapim-preto , Chapim-palustre and chapim-montês. Many woodpeckers can be found in the area and all five species are present: Pica-pau-malhado-grande, Pica-pau-mediano, Pica-pau-malhado-pequeno, Pica-pau-verde and Pica-pau-preto. In the evening, courtship flights of Galinhola can be seen along the edges of the forest. In winter, the area is home to a variety of wintering birds, like large flocks of finches and tits. Within these flocks, smaller numbers of Estrelinha-de-poupa and Estrelinha-de-cabeça-listada can be present.
Predatory birds can often be seen flying over the area, like the common Águia-d'asa-redonda and peneireiro-de-dorso-malhado / peneireiro, but also scarcer species like Bútio-vespeiro and Milhafre-real. Small numbers of Corvo can also be seen flying low above the forests.
