Extra info

The shallow lake IJsselmeer is a very important area for birds, but less to experience for bird watchers given the great distance. But from the dike you can see and experience things with good light.

Nederlands: Het ondiepe IJsselmeer is voor vogels een heel belangrijk gebied maar voor vogelaars wat minder te beleven gezien de grote afstand. Maar vanaf de dijk is met goed licht wel e.e.a. te zien en te beleven.
