Description
The Westersingel canal in the city center of Rotterdam provides a mix of urban and natural habitats, attracting a variety of bird species. The waterways, lined with trees, parks, and green spaces, create a welcoming environment for both resident and migratory birds. Common sightings include Lebădă de vară, Stârc cenușiu, and Rață mare, while Lișiță and Corcodel mare nest along the quieter sections of the canals. In winter, look for Ferestraș mare and Pescăruș râzător, while summer brings Chiră de baltă fishing in the water. The surrounding trees and parks attract Pițigoi albastru, Cinteză and Șoim călător, which can sometimes be seen hunting in the city skyline.
