Dutch Birding Weekend Texel

Our regular guest Gerhard Christenhuis is a nature photographer. A number of photos have been put on canvas and adorn the corridors of our Juliana apartment complex, among others. Getting up early is the motto if only for the nicer light. To learn his way around Texel, he regularly went out with a forester and guides from, among others, the Bird Information Centre (in de Cocksdorp) in the first few years. Using the car as a hide is fine, many birds are used to that, but it is better to walk into nature and then find a quiet spot somewhere . With patience, nature (read birds etc.) will come to you automatically . At the moment there is a nest of Marsh Harriers in the Mok Bay, which is best spotted or photographed from the car . Some distance is desirable, last years they were gone in no time after being disturbed.

We and Gerhard advise our guests to also bring binoculars this coming weekend to spot the beautiful birds of Texel. This weekend, the Dutch Birding Spring Weekend is planned.

Together with the Bird Information Centre Texel, Dutch Birding is organising the Dutch Birding Spring Weekend on 10, 11 and 12 May 2019. As every year, the weekend is dedicated to birdwatching and the search for unusual species, during the Friday and Saturday evenings embellished with interesting lectures. Statistically, these days of May are the best days to discover rarities, and Texel has long been the municipality where most rarities are discovered. During the Dutch Birding Spring Weekend, all birders are welcome, patron or not. Everyone takes care of their own overnight stay and birding the weekend in their own way.

The Bird Information Centre and the National Park Dunes of Texel organise the Wadden Bird Festival on Texel in the same weekend. On 11 & 12 May 2019, the Bird Information Centre will be the central point where you can get all information about this weekend, the birds, the Texel Big Day, guided excursions, manned bird-watching points and the binocular show. The Bird Information Centre is open all weekend from 9am-6pm. Address: Kikkertstraat 42, 1795 AE De Cocksdorp.

On Friday morning 10 May 2019 at 7.00 am, the competitive element of the Spring Weekend starts: the search for the best species of the weekend! The programme ends with the award ceremony to the discoverer of the weekend's best species, on Sunday 12 May 2019 at 18:00. You can read the Dutch Birding Spring Weekend programme here.

Dutch Birding members, Big Day teams, other birders or interested parties: everyone is welcome to join the various activities throughout the weekend!

Great apartments, especially for dog lovers. Very good and fast service if something does not work. The rooms are nicely decorated and the kitchen has everything you need. The city of De Koog can be reached on foot in 3 minutes, as well as the beach. A wonderful place for a holiday.

There are flats of different sizes and decoration. Cleanliness is fine and if there are any complaints, the staff respond immediately. We will definitely holiday here again.

Very well maintained facility with good service and very friendly staff/ inside.The location on Texel is unique on top of the dune. Parking and bicycle base singly lockable available. We have been about 15 years several times a year in the house Juliana and were always very satisfied.

Super apartment, great view over land and sea. Top beds that you can sleep well on, and no sagging mattresses. Shops close by, beach close by really great. And not to forget the staff of the apartment complex are very friendly.

I would actually go to Texel for a long weekend, but unfortunately I couldn't let this go on because of Corona. Texel holidays came with a great alternative to continue our holiday at a different time. Texel holidays have acted quickly and professionally and I have certainly been helped well.

We had a wonderful extended weekend at Juliana Appartamenten #104. It is very tasteful and modern + we lacked nothing. The booking worked smoothly, even the keys on our late arrival was perfectly organized.

Monica

We had a great holiday on Texel, Texelvakanties has looked after us well before the start of the holiday and during the holiday. 👍 Wishes were done immediately.

After the first accommodation (house) was not in order (cleanliness and power supply), we were offered a switch to an apartment where everything was fine. The new apartment was well equipped and had a beautiful sea view. It was also very clean. We would book an apartment in the Julianacomplex at any time and can also recommend it if you have a dog.
