A fairly large open area consisting of wet meadows and pastures; a great spot for migratory birds and typical breeding species of the meadow landscape.
Sint Laurense Weihoek is located just north of Middelburg and consists of wet meadows and pastures in a fairly large area. During migration, this area is of importance for migrating waders and other migratory birds, like голем српоклун свиркач, шарен српоклун свиркач, Bar-tailed Godwit, сабјарка, шумска тринга, бојник, сиво блатарче, златно блатарче, мала бела чапја, чапја лажичарка and the occasional патка крецка. Also rare species tend to be drawn to this area, like жолтоного блатарче, Црвенонога сабјарка and белокрила рибарка. In winter, large numbers of патка свиркач and Barnacle Goose can be seen on the pastures and often a flock of мал лебед is present. мал пескар breeds here, just like полска чучулига, ливадска трепетилка, црноопашна блатарка and калуѓерка.

You can observe the meadows and pastures from the road by car or by bike. Several quiet polder roads (Stenen Kruisweg, Buttingseweg and Zandvoortseweg) are ideal observing locations. Park there and walk along these little roads. The birds are used to visitors and often stay put.
