I wrote a short column-like article for Natura Magazine about the Balgzand project of IMARES, where I worked as an intern during the winter. The project contained camera observation on wading birds on the mudflats of Balgzand. Balgzand is located in the protected area of the Wadden Sea close to Den Helder, the Netherlands. The research focused on the distribution and the behaviour of wading birds in the light of migration, the tide and seasonal changes on Balgzand. I collected data of the species of birds resting or foraging on the mudflats, including registration of behaviour, date and time.

The title of the article is as follows:
