Description

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 Kervançulluğu, Sürmeli kervançulluğu, Kıyı çamurçulluğu, Kılıçgaga, Orman düdükçünü, Döşüşkenkuş, Gümüş yağmurcun, Altın yağmurcun, Küçük ak balýkçýl, Kaşıkçı and the occasional Çıkrıkçın. Also rare species tend to be drawn to this area, like Dag cılıbıtı, Uzunbacak and Akkanatlı sumru. In winter, large numbers of Fiyu and Akyanaklý kaz can be seen on the pastures and often a flock of Küçük Kuğu is present. Küçük halkalı cılıbıt breeds here, just like Tarlakuşu, Çayır incirkuşu, Çamurçulluğu and Kızkuşu.
