This is an artificial wall that was specially placed here to allow the sand martins to breed quietly.
It is worth seeing these creatures at work.
The wall has been here since September 2023.

This breeding wall features 1,650 nesting holes to house a colony of swallows. Come at the right time and enjoy the playful antics of these birds. This breeding wall was created at the initiative of the Flemish Waterways Authority (Vlaamse Waterweg) and the Albert Canal.
