Description

Lovely to bird in spring. Nice rivervally with lots of birds such as modra taščica, trstni strnad, bičja trstnica, močvirska trstnica, srpična trstnica, reglja, kukavica, kobiličar, rjava penica, prosnik. During the migration periods you have chances to see waders (črnorepi kljunač, togotnik, veliki škurh, rdečenogi martinec, mali deževnik), lots of kmečka lastovka, kupcar, repaljščica. And if you are lucky you might see or hear grahasta tukalica and rjava čaplja. Also a nice area for plants, dragonflies and other insects. Also chances to see beaver.

Nederlands: Viersels Gebroekt zijn bloemrijke graslanden tussen de Molenbeek en de Kleine beek (2 riviertjes). Leuk om een korte (5 km) wandeling te maken. Soms overstroomt het gebied in de lente en in de winter. Heerlijk gebied om in het voorjaar te vogelen. Mooie riviervallei met veel vogels zoals modra taščica, trstni strnad, bičja trstnica, močvirska trstnica, srpična trstnica, reglja, kukavica, kobiličar, rjava penica, prosnik. Tijdens de trekperiode heb je kans om steltlopers te zien (črnorepi kljunač, togotnik, veliki škurh, rdečenogi martinec, mali deževnik), veel kmečka lastovka , kupcar, repaljščica. En als je geluk hebt, kun je grahasta tukalica en rjava čaplja zien of horen. Ook een mooi gebied voor planten, libellen en andere insecten. Ook kansen om bever te zien.
