A map with locations in Zeeland, SW Netherlands. Westkapelle is one of the best spots to see (and certainly photograph and read ring codes of) LBBG in the Netherlands from mid-September well into November. Local birders have set up their own site; for information on recent sightings, pictures, last news on migration, etc. See the Zeeland website (also in English).

From September to March, it is also a guaranteed spot for cachinnans and Herring Gulls from both far northern Scandinavia and the Baltic region.
