Birding excursion with a guide from Staatsbosbeheer

Join a birdwatching excursion, led by an experienced guide from the Dutch Forestry Commission. We'll start from the parking lot at the entrance to the Hoornerbos forest. From there, we'll hop on our bikes and set off in search of the island's diverse bird species. Spring and autumn are particularly good times for birdwatching. Breeding birds are active in spring, and countless species pass through the island during migration. Along the way, the guide will help you spot and identify birds and tell you more about their behavior, habitat, and the influence of the dynamic Wadden Sea region. During the 2.5-hour excursion, we'll cycle to various landscapes and search for the species found there. The route will be determined by the weather and tides. The excursion is suitable for both novice and experienced birdwatchers. Don't forget to bring binoculars.

Mooie, leuke maar vooral een informatieve fietstocht.

De boswachter maakte het verschil met zijn kennis over de vogels, de soorten en het gedrag. Daarnaast wist de boswachter waar en wanneer je bepaalde soorten kan aantreffen.

Veel vogels gezien, die ik nog niet kende.

Was een leuke excursie. Door de grote groep wel vaak gemist wat de gids te vertellen had. Ook wachtte hij niet altijd op mensen die achteraan fietsten, zodat je wat miste. Er zaten gelukkig ook ervaren vogelaars in onze groep en die wezen ons ook op bijzondere vogels.
