Although I was often on and along the beach in the area, I had never visited this nature reserve of Natuurmonumenten. Until this weekend.
Nice to walk here. To see which (unfortunately for me fast) birds are here. I will keep this area in mind to visit in another season/month!

Under a cloudy sky☁️, we start the unspectacular circular route and encounter a small viewing hill👀 and three birdwatching spots👁.

Apart from a few grey geese, cormorants, three pochards, and very few little birds in the distance, nothing was to be …
