The wife and I will be in Holland/Germany for the first week of April this year, driving from Amsterdam to visit family and friends in Groningen and Bielefeld.
I appreciate the timing may not be ideal for birding, but I would like some suggestions for somewhere to visit for a few hours to break up the journey between Amsterdam and Groningen - looking on google maps it seems that we have the option of either the A6 or A7 for our journey, and we are tending towards the latter for the novelty factor of driving over the sea, as well as some potentially interesting looking habitat around Sneek (?).
I don't have any specific targets in mind as I don't think there are any new birds I could see (save for some vagrant), but if there was any chance of e.g. a nice wetland with chance of Crane/Spoonbill/Bluethroat/harriers/Geese that would probably fit the bill - open to any and all suggestions though!
Thanks in advance.
