Over-summering birds in Waalenburg nature reserve
Accompanied by an enthusiastic guide, you take a beautiful walk through the Waalenburg nature reserve. Numerous butterflies can be found in the herbaceous and flowery strips, including the beautiful icarus blue. The first breeding birds from northern regions are also returning. Waders such as black rider and ruff can be admired with a bit of luck in the beautiful summer dress. In the second half of the summer, the young birds follow. Their parents then slowly moult to the more austere winter plumage. The young harriers have fledged in Waalenburg and are exploring the area. The adult birds first carry prey, but they also teach the young birds the art of hunting. A beautiful spectacle! Times: in July, on Thursday and Saturday from 1.30 pm to 3.30 pm. Look for the current times in the agenda of Natuurmonumenten.
