Beschrijving
As a controlled flooding area, constructed as compensation for some new developments, the Westerplas features a seasonal wetland with open water, reed, mudflads, ... You have nice viewing opportunities from the trail around the wetland. It attracts some wintering ducks, but the highlight is spring migration when waders (like Groenpootruiter, Bosruiter, Tureluur, Kleine Plevier, Steltkluut, Grutto...) and ducks (it is a reliable site for Zomertaling) stop at this site. Also other migrants might be seen off course (like Boerenzwaluw, Huiszwaluw, Gierzwaluw,Gele Kwikstaart, ,Beflijster). During summer and fall the site is often dry with few birds around.
