Description
The Doelpolder is a wetland with open water, breeding islands and is primarily a nature reserve for meadow birds and water birds. A lock in the Scheldedijk allows a limited amount of brackish water in the Doelpolder, creating a light-salt tidal creek of 36 hectares. Countless meadow birds such as the Black-tailed Godwit, Garganey and the Common Redshank find a suitable breeding area here. In the winter you can see waders, ducks and geese perching for food. From the dyke you have a good view of this salt marsh area. Nice birds you can see here are Eurasian Spoonbill, Spotted Redshank, Peregrine Falcon, European Marsh Harrier, Hen Harrier, Mediterranean Gull and Eurasian Curlew.
