Extensive description Close

The ponds of the Munsterbos are the favorite habitat for marsh birds such as the bluethroat and the water rail. The bittern comes here in winter to search for food. The wood lark, tree pipit, stonechat, and viviparous lizard find an ideal living environment in the heathland remnants. The European honey buzzard, goshawk, common buzzard, and Eurasian hobby are breeding birds.
