Adjacent to the
Joh.Kerkhovenpolder, of which I told you in my previous posts, is the
Breebaartpolder. This 63 hectares (155 acres) large piece of land was transformed into a polder in 1979, and has become known for its extensive bird life. Visitors find paths for hiking and cycling, a hut for birdwatching, and a visitor center called
Reidehoeve. The photo above was taken through one of the windows of the visitor center, where -as you can see- the window sills were also used for exhibiting items.
Dat is nog een vrij jonge polder eigenlijk.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenHi Marleen. Your posts are so interesting. Is that a live Skimmer in the window? They are palargtic migrfants in the very Southern tip of South Africa. I have never seen one! Have a great day. Jo
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHi Jo, I think it´s an Arctic Tern, what we call ´Noordse stern´ in Dutch, as they are common here. (But anyone please correct me if I´m wrong). The one on the photo is stuffed and belongs to the exhibition.
VerwijderenWie zou ooit verzonnen hebben dat stalramen er zo uit zouden moeten zien. Gouden uitzicht.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI am amazed of how the polder has change habitat.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenmooie doorkijk op dit natuurgebied Marleen
BeantwoordenVerwijderenprettige dag
It's a lovely view, made even more so segmented by the gorgeous lead-light window! Have a good weekend Marleen ✨
BeantwoordenVerwijderenBeautiful picture. Have a Happy weekend.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenthe bird looks like a real one!! hahaha
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt's an enticing place to me. I'd love to bike through the polder! Also, it is a good thing when such land is kept "natural" for use by all the people rather than sold to some developer. I've got a question: What does opvallend and onopvallend mean in English?
BeantwoordenVerwijderen...there is an area similar to this nearby, it's a great place to see the birds.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenA wonderful way to frame a shot!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenA great photo of the display and of the polder view beyond!
BeantwoordenVerwijderendefinitely must be a great area to spend some time exploring!
A pretty view from the window. Have a wonderful weekend Marleen!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks so much, Marleen, for your explanation. It makes perfect sense. So often we walk through life and our towns and cities seeing only the things that stand out and completely miss some of the things in the background which might, in some instances, be of more importance or more interesting that those garnering all the attention.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenA beautiful view through the window Marleen. I would love to visit a birdwatching hut! This place sounds wonderful.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe birdwatching hut is lovely idea. I think this whole place is wonderful.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenInteresting places, the polders!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAt first glance, I thought the bird was inside! Nice photo Marleen.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYou can feel freedom here.
