Telpost Breskens is known by many birdwatchers. On good days, golden oriole and heron can be seen flying over the beach on their long migration route while red and black kites fly over the dike. The mouth of the Westerschelde in Breskens is a favorite spot for birds heading north, whether they continue their migration to the east or whether they cross the Westerschelde and continue their way north. Especially in Breskens there is a strong draft when the wind blows off the coast. By Dutch standards, an unprecedented number of migratory birds pass by.

The “Breskens” bird counting post on the dike above the Panoramaweg and the “Waterdunen” nature and holiday parks is used by bird watchers to observe and count the birds flying on their north-south routes: up to 100 different bird species fly past this “hotspot”.
