Stayed Saturday night in Goes on the southernmost Zeeland peninsular with geese passing over the town in the night and morning. Later on Sunday a large flock of White-fronted Geese was by the A58 junction just SW of the town.
A trip to the polder north of Middelburg revealed large numbers of White-fronted and Barnacle Geese and brief views of a Ross' Goose. There were also a couple of Black Swans near here and this Spotted Redshank in one of the ditches.

More geese were flying over other areas and there was a large flock at Spaarbekkens lake SW of Terneuzen. The Braakman reserve north of the road here had a male Hen Harrier flying about.
Still just in The Netherlands two White Storks were resting in a field on the southern edge of Sluis. Further large collections of geese were on the Belgian Polders and there was a flock of Common Scoter on the sea just off De Haan.
