Description
The Ballewijer nature reserve is enclosed in the urban areas of Zonhoven and Molenheide. The area consists of two ponds. The ponds with their reed beds are of great value for waterfowl, amphibians and dragonflies. The edge of the marsh and ponds is a biotope that mainly attracts Gușă vânătă and Cârstel de baltă. The marsh contains both Sitar de pădure and Becațină comună. The small reed beds are home to breeding birds like Lăcar de stuf and Presură de stuf. Other birds that you can see are Uligan pescar, Stârc pitic, Corcodel mare, Corcodel mic, Rață cârâitoare, Rață pestriță, Rață moțată, Rață cu cap castaniu and Rață lingurar and also waders during bird migration.
