Beschrijving
Nice mudflat near the airport with many waders and seabirds. This place is interesting for local birders and travellers that have an hour of spare time at the airport. In winter, especially when the sun is back from the end of january, take your telescope and scan the water/Sound. There are always Koningseider, Eider, Grote Zee-eend, Zwarte Zee-eend, IJseend, Paarse Strandloper and sometimes Geelsnavelduiker around somewhere, but you need a telescope and calm weather.
During spring and autumn migration often flocks of Bonte Strandloper, Kanoet, Tureluur, Scholekster. The water is always worth checking for Alcidae, especially in migration times.
In Summer, look for breeding shorebirds like Temmincks Strandloper, Steenloper or birds like Rietzanger and displaying Veldleeuwerik. Also important for Noordse Stern.
