This morning I went birding in Zeeland, because I read that a Broad-billed Sandpiper was seen there over the last few days. The bird was seen in a place called " 't Stinkgat " near Oud-Vossemeer.
After a while another birder found the Broad-billed Sandpiper and it showed very well for a long time. It was a juvenile bird and a lifer for me.
I also made a circular walk around the polder.
Other birds I saw were : Little Egret, Eurasian Spoonbill, Mute Swan, Greylag Goose, Canada Goose, Common Shelduck, Mallard, Northern Goshawk, Oystercatcher, Avocet, Great Ringed Plover, Northern Lapwing, Dunlin, Little Stint, Temminck's Stint, Ruff, Eurasian Curlew, Whimbrel (another lifer), Common Redshank, Wood Sandpiper, Green Sandpiper, Common Snipe, Black-headed Gull, Herring Gull, Wood Pigeon, Barn Swallow, Pied Wagtail, Yellow Wagtail , Marsh Warbler, Magpie and Carrion Crow.
A very rewarding morning.
