Beschrijving
Baston and Langtoft Gravel Pits are a mixture old and new gravel pits just east of Baston and Langtoft villages. The lakes attract wildfowl in winter, and small numbers of waders in spring and autumn (depending on the water levels). There is a downside though, because you can only view the area from the road and it can sometimes be difficult to see through the greenery surrounding the lakes. In addition to that several of the pits cannot be viewed as the area is strictly private. Nevertheless, most of the time you can manage to observe quite a few birds in the area. Birds you can spot here include Krooneend, Nonnetje, Kleine Rietgans, Wilde Zwaan, Bergeend, Slobeend, Smient, Brilduiker, Scholekster, Goudplevier, Bontbekplevier, Kleine Plevier, Tureluur and Watersnip.
