Beschrijving
Drumpellier Country Park offers a diverse mix of habitats, including woodlands, wetlands, open water, and grasslands, making it a fantastic birdwatching spot year-round. The park’s lochs and marshes attract Knobbelzwaan, Dodaars, Meerkoet and Kuifeend, while reedbeds provide a home for Rietzanger and Rietgors in spring and summer. Fuut can often be seen performing their courtship displays.
Woodlands around the park are alive with Grote Bonte Specht, Taigaboomkruiper, and Staartmees. In winter, flocks of Koperwiek and Kramsvogel arrive, while the occasional Buizerd or Sperwer can be spotted overhead.
With scenic trails and a variety of bird species, Drumpellier is a perfect spot for both beginners and experienced birdwatchers.
