❄️ Walk in the Uitkerkse Polder: Spot the winter guests of the Hoge Noorden! 🦢🦢 When the first frost sets in elsewhere in Europe, an impressive migration begins in the Hoge Noorden. Vanuit Noord-Norway, Greenland, and Iceland fly thousands of geese south to escape the harsh cold. Now that their adventurous journey is over, they settle in our own backyard: the Uitkerkse Polder. This winter, thousands of “frost geese” - Tundra bean geese, greater white-fronted geese, barnacle geese, greylag geese—are coming again to feast on the nutritious grass in the vast meadows. A beautiful spectacle that you have to experience live. 🌬️ Why you should come along? Unique opportunity to see large groups of frost geese Cozy, quiet walk through the winter polders Perfect for beginning and experienced birdwatchers Binocular moments at the most beautiful lookout points In the mood for a breath of fresh air, beautiful nature, and a special bird adventure?
