Flying startled lapwings in the dutch Polder Breebaart
Lapwings fly startled in Polder Breebaart, located in the NE of The Netherlands, on the edge of the Eems-Dollard estuary. The polder was embanked in 1979, and became a nature reserve in 1991. A plan to restore tidal influence was developed by the Foundation 'Het Groninger Landschap' together with Water Board 'Hunze en Aa's'. Since 2001, seawater flows in from the estuary through a culvert in the sea-wall.
