Beschrijving
Freiston Shore protects 683 hectares of saltmarsh and mudflats for wintering, passage and nesting birds. A 15 hectare saline lagoon has been created, a rare habitat that holds breeding waterbirds, especially Kluut and Bontbekplevier. 72 hectare of sheep fields and arable land is converted into a wet grassland for the benefit of breeding waders and waterfowl.
During spring, look out for Kluut and Scholekster nesting on the lagoon, Veldleeuwerik and Grauwe Gors singing, migrants such as Tapuit, Gele Kwikstaart and Oeverloper. In autumn, thousands of waders such as Kanoet, Bonte Strandloper and Scholekster roost on the lagoon at high tide. Winter sees large flocks of Goudplevier, Kievit and other waders on the saltmarsh and mudflats and thousands of Rotgans and Smient feed on the wet grasslands. Spot birds of prey such as Velduil, Blauwe Kiekendief and Smelleken hunting over the saltmarsh. Up to 5000 Grutto spend the winter in the surrounding areas.

JaExtra info
At Freiston Shore you can get excellent views of waterbirds on the saline lagoon, especially at high tide when wading birds roost, sometimes in their thousands. The saltmarsh is good for watching hunting birds of prey, while Eider and Middelste Zaagbek and other diving ducks can be seen offshore during winter.
