The Perenboomplas pond is attractive to birds that come to rest there temporarily, such as žličarka and mala bela caplja.
The area of Oude Leie Gottem and the Perenboomplas consists of an old Leie meander where svilnica breeds in the reed collar of this meander. In the winter period you can also sometimes find veliki žagar and čopasta črnica. Adjacent to the meander there is a newly excavated large pond where various wading birds forage such as mali martinec, priba and pikasti martinec. During the spring and autumn migration you have a chance of just about anything that stops in the area for a while. Think of togotnik, črni martinec, polojnik. The reed zone bordering the meadow is a breeding ground for rjavi lunj.

Aangrenzend aan de meander is er een nieuw uitgegraven grote poel waar diverse steltlopers foerageren zoals mali martinec, priba en pikasti martinec als bijna een constante maar tijdens de voor- en najaarstrek heb je kans op ongeveer alles dat er eventjest stopt.
