Grootbroek swamp

Grootbroek is a swamp and a pond, located in Sint-Agatha-Rode and Sint-Joris-Weert. I immediately thought that the place must be charming : all that life abounding in the swamps ! I was wrong. Indeed many birds were present on the pond, but another kind of bird was there : the plane. This place is absolutely drowned by the Zaventem takeoffs. I went there very early on the morning only for Grootbroek. I said to myself : do I leave immediately ? No, I must talk about this horror, the great nature and the carnage airport. Ornithologists have to know it, the main volatile here is the plane. Sounds on the pond : Canada geese, Mallard ducks, Kingfisher, Waterfowl, Common Moorhen, Eurasian Coot, Mute swans. On the woods : Common Chiffchaff, Common Chaffinch, Common Blackbird. There's an unknown bird, very near each time, probably a Meadow Pipit.
