Beschrijving
This sheltered inlet is an internationally important wetland site for wildlife. Roughly half of the reserve is intertidal saltmarsh and mudflats, with the remainder of the reserve consisting of farmland, copses, lagoons, reedbeds and shingle beaches. You can see birds like Rotgans, Pijlstaart, Dwergstern, Grutto and Kleine Zilverreiger. In winter large numbers of Rotgans, Kievit and Grutto use the harbour or surrounding fields, with a supporting cast which includes Zilverplevier, Goudplevier and Bonte Strandloper. Kuifduiker are seen offshore and Middelste Zaagbek in the harbour. Waders and wildfowl linger well into spring, including Wulp, Zilverplevier, Rosse Grutto and Grutto, Bonte Strandloper, Pijlstaart, Smient, Wintertaling and Rotgans. Smaller migrants arrive, such as Rietzanger, Kleine Karekiet and Fitis, Zwartkop and Tjiftjaf sing in the bushes and Tapuit hop about the beach. In summer Dwergstern and Visdief can be seen fishing in the harbour.
