A new nature reserve was created in 2007 on the southern edge of Zuid-Beveland, near Baarland. This was done to compensate for the nature lost due to the deepening of the Western Scheldt. The deepening increases the current and causes the nature outside the dykes on the Western Scheldt to crumble. The two main goals for the construction of this area were a high-water refuge for wading birds and a breeding area for coastal breeding birds.

The area is extensively used by coastal breeding birds. Birds such as ringed plover, ground plover and avocet are extensively searching for worms, crustaceans and cockles.

The nests were counted in the spring of 2009 and it turned out that more than 110 pairs of avocets were breeding. The young are currently leaving the nest. Wherever you look, you see this beautiful creature wading through the area. The ranger also counted a small colony of breeding black-headed gulls, a few Kentish plovers, a few little plovers and three pairs of ringed plovers.

You can take a look at this maternity room. The area is located right next to Scheldeoord campsite Zuidelijk van Baarland. You can look out over the area from the Zeedijk.

This area falls under Natura 2000
