Kabbelaarsbank Zuid - Observation point

The southern birdwatching screen in the Kabbelaarsbank nature reserve is a peaceful stop for walkers and nature lovers by the Grevelingenmeer.

What can you expect at the southern birdwatching screen?

Here you look out over the sheltered side of the Brouwersdam, with water, shores, mudflats and small bird islands.

• Views across the Grevelingenmeer: From the screen, you look out over water, reeds, shores and bird islands. It is a pleasant place to pause for a moment during a walk.
• Good chance of seeing waterbirds: You may see cormorants, shelducks, avocets, curlews, common terns, Sandwich terns, spoonbills and little egrets here, among other species. In winter and early spring, there is also a chance of spotting red-breasted mergansers.
• Varied surroundings: The Kabbelaarsbank consists of woodland paths, open sandy areas, reed beds, marshy sections and shores. This makes even a short walk here feel surprisingly varied.
