This morning's tour in Zeeland was focussed on finding various species of waders.
We started at the Brouwersdam but the Purple Sandpipers were no longer to be found, still we got Grey and Ringed Plovers on migration. In these flocks were also a Red Knot and some Dunlins.
In the area of the Prunjepolder we were able to find a pair of Black-winged Stilts, Kentish Plovers and more waders such Curlew, Whimbrel, Black- and Bar-tailed Godwit. We ended the day with 3 European Shags which were also one of the target list.
