Description

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.
