Descripción
Les Marais d'Harchies consists of four large ponds, marshes, 24 hectares of reed beds and meadows with pollard willow. The wetland was created when subsidence from mining began to fill with water from the 1920s. Between 1968 and 1971, the marshes were drained for a construction project that failed, and the area was subsequently purchased for protection. As a result, they were refilled with groundwater and rainwater. The area now consists of a patchwork of ponds, marses and open meadows which offer ideal conditions and quietness for breeding birds. At the observatories, you may see: Garceta Grande, Cisne Chico, Ruiseñor Pechiazul, Martinete Común and Águila Pescadora.
