A mosaic of several hundred hectares of lakes, reed beds, slag heaps and woods, the Chabaud-Latour site offers a wonderful diversity of birds.
The Chabaud Latour lake is a mining subsidence lake less than four kilometres from the Belgian border. It is part of a complex of semi-natural environments of about 250 hectares where the "Canardaud-Latour marshes and Chabaud-Latour pond" constitute a complex of about 150 hectares of wetlands in the upper Scheldt basin. The adjacent environments are tree plantations, woods, lawns, wastelands and mining dumps. During the winter period the birds include an abundance of dabbling ducks and other wintering birds. But also in other seasons many other nice birds can be seen like Grangur, Privighetoare roșcată, Gușă vânătă, Stârc pitic, Cuc, Presură de stuf, Stufărică, Pescăraș albastru and Stârc de noapte.

Il fait partie d'un complexe de milieux semi-naturels d'environ 250 hectares où les « marais de la Canarderie et étang de Chabaud-Latour » constituent un ensemble d'environ 150 hectares de zones humides, dans le haut du bassin de l'Escaut. Les milieux adjacents sont des plantations d'arbres (peupleraies), bois, pelouses, friches, et terrils miniers. Le site a été requalifié avec l'aide de l'EPF et du PNR et du conseil général (Espace naturel sensible).
