Description
Due to the variation of pine and deciduous forests, extensive grasslands, thorny bushes, heathland and the sandy underground the natura-2000 reserve Heidebos contains some of the most regional unique species. The most elusive by far is the Natravn, which you can hear in the area on the right moments of the year. In the pine and deciduous forests you can find almost all bird species related to forests in Flanders like Topmejse , Broget fluesnapper, Sortmejse, Spætmejse, Fuglekonge, Sortspætte, Natugle , Skovsneppe. Some of the most remarkable predatory birds also breed in this nature reserve, like Duehøg and Hvepsevåge. Since the expansion of the Stor hornugle in Western Europe, the species has been breeding in the area for several years.In the more semi-open parts like the heathlands you can find Hedelærke , Rødstjert and Grå Fluesnapper.
