Description
In breeding season in Korendijkse Slikken & Leenheerengorzenpolder there is only a limited access just near the parking place and along the Westdijk. From the Westdijk you have good overview over the meadows with it's birds, like Black-tailed Godwit, Common Redshank, Northern Lapwing, Eurasian Skylark, Eurasian Oystercatcher, Meadow Pipitand Little Ringed Plover. During autumn migration and in winter the walking track gives a good variety of birds, ducks, gulls and terns, waders, raptors and songbirds. With some luck migrators as Osprey, Caspian Tern, Red Kite, Pallid Harrier, Black Stork can bee seen, better chances will be for Eurasian Spoonbill, Little Egret, White-tailed Eagle, Great Grey Shrike, Spotted Redshank, Common Greenshank, Curlew Sandpiper and may other waders.
