Birding excursion on the northern tip of Texel
Accompanied by an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide (also German- and English-speaking), you will take a walk on the northern tip of Texel (dune area around the lighthouse, De Tuintjes, Renvogelveld and immediate vicinity of camping De Robbenjager). In this extremely dynamic and varied environment, you can meet various songbirds (spring migration!), water birds, waders and seagulls. The excursions are suitable for young and old and focus on learning to recognise birds. You will learn how to recognise different bird species by appearance and by their calls. Afterwards, you will have a nice cup of tea or coffee in the Bird Information Centre and, if you wish, you can complete a checklist together with the bird species you have seen this morning. Dates: Thursday May 2, Friday May 3 and Monday May 13 and 20, 2024. Time: 9 am to 12 pm. Cost: € 30 per person
