A fairly large open area consisting of wet meadows and pastures; a great spot for migratory birds and typical breeding species of the meadow landscape.
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 veliki škurh, mali škurh, progastorepi kljunač, sabljarka, močvirski martinec, togotnik, črna prosenka, zlata prosenka, mala bela caplja, žličarka and the occasional reglja. Also rare species tend to be drawn to this area, like dular, polojnik and beloperuta čigra. In winter, large numbers of žvižgavka and belolična gos can be seen on the pastures and often a flock of mali labod is present. mali deževnik breeds here, just like poljski škrjanec, travniška cipa, črnorepi kljunač and priba.

You can observe the meadows and pastures from the road by car or by bike. Several quiet polder roads (Stenen Kruisweg, Buttingseweg and Zandvoortseweg) are ideal observing locations. Park there and walk along these little roads. The birds are used to visitors and often stay put.
