Walking excursion: Waders on the mudflats near De Cocksdorp
Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 May 2025 The Wadden Sea is essential for numerous wading birds. Numerous not only in the sense of large numbers, but also in the sense of a large number of species. The Wadden Sea is an important breeding area and as a stopover of essential importance for birds on their way from their wintering areas off the coast of Africa to their breeding areas in northern regions and vice versa. In the spring, these wading birds are usually 'more colourful' and easier to distinguish from each other per bird species. In the autumn, these birds are more sober in appearance in their winter plumage and it becomes a challenge to identify the right species. An enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide will take you to the mudflats and tell you all about the dynamics of the tide and how to recognise the birds present and distinguish them from each other. Start time: Saturday 10:00, Sunday 10:30, departure from the Bird Information Centre Price: €30.00 per person
