Birds you can spot include spoonbills, many species of ducks, large flocks of oystercatchers and redshanks, and rarer birds like spotted redshank and greenshank. A bird cliff was constructed next to the Balgzandpolder at the end of 2016. And with success; it&#039;s teeming with birds! Nesting habitats for sand martins have been created in the walls of the cliff. The cliff is five meters high and inaccessible to foxes. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Balgzandpolder is entirely dedicated to birdlife.
