Excursion: Birds of Texel

Saturday 11 May 2024 Join us towards one of Texel's most important breeding areas for the spotted-billed plover. Forester ecologist Thomas van der Es will tell all about the latest developments on the protection of these unique birds, which will take centre stage during the Wadden Bird Festival 2024. There are two walks with the forester today. We will look for typical beach-breeding birds such as the little tern and the spotted plover on the scenically fantastic and bird-rich lighthouse beach. We will walk a round of dunes and beach, guaranteeing a diverse bird list. Departure times: 10 am for the walk from the stairs near the Slufter café (Slufterweg 1) 2 pm for the walk from the car park near the lighthouse (end of Vuurtorenweg) Cost: € 20 per person, € 10 for children from 8 to 10 years old, registration is required via www.staatsbosbeheer.nl/strandbroeders
