Mini-expo: Winter visitors in the Uitkerkse Polder
Hallo, ik ben Vlieg en ik wijs de weg naar leuke activiteiten voor kinderen. Meer info op www.vliegjemee.be!
During the winter months, the Uitkerkse Polder is bursting at the seams with bird life. Many thousands of geese, who spent the summer breeding season in the far arctic north, come in winter to feast on the nutritious grass they find in the vast meadows. You will find imposing flocks of kola geese, barnacle geese and pink-footed geese all over the wide area. For the latter, the Belgian coastal polders are one of the most important wintering areas in the world.
