Beschrijving
Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve covers 73 hectares and comprises five lakes surrounded by woodland. There are a few ponds, seasonally flooded pools as well as grassland and small areas of reedbed. The deeper lakes attract all the common wildfowl which are especially abundant in the winter. Surface feeding duck such as Wintertaling and Slobeend tend to frequent the shallower areas. Waders such as Witgat and Oeverloper, Groenpootruiter, Kievit and Kleine Plevier can be seen around the muddy edges of the shallow water. The last two species nest on the reserve. Blauwe Reiger are resident and other birds like IJsvogel, Grote Gele Kwikstaart can often be located. Birds such as Rietgors and Kleine Karekiet can easily be seen in the reedbed in the summertime. In the winter the alder trees attract flocks of Sijs and Barmsijs. You can make a lovely walk around two larger lakes with many good spots for bird watching. There are several hides.
