Nederlands: Het brede strand bij strandpaal 18 aan de Noordzeekant van Terschelling is een goede plek om meeuwen en zeevogels te zien. Je kunt vogels kijken vanaf het strand, maar eventueel ook een duintop beklimmen om een beter zicht over de zee te hebben. Zeevogels zitten vaak ver weg, maar worden met harde west- tot noordwesten wind vaak dichter naar de kust geblazen. Maar hoe dan ook is een telescoop handig op deze plek. Vogels die je bij Paal 18 kunt zien zijn onder meer Fenyérfutó, Dolmányos sirály, heringsirály, csüllő, Csigaforgató, Kis goda, Örvös lúd, Északi búvár, Szula, Nagy halfarkas, Fekete réce, Pehelyréce, Kenti csér en in de winter havasi fülespacsirta en Hósármány.

Special Birdingplaces Offer: Hotel De Walvisvaarder

Island of Terschelling  >  Netherlands

Hotel – Restaurant de Walvisvaarder has been combining informality with hospitality for more than 50 years. Perfectly centrally located for bird watching on the beautiful island of Terschelling. Close to mudflats, beach, forest and polder. In the hotel, freedom and casualness are combined with hospitality, which brings people back to Terschelling every year. The converted farm in the little village of Lies is an ideal base from which to explore the island. After a day of bird watching or a long walk on the beach, you can enjoy a drink at our bar or on our terrace. When it is a bit colder outside, the fireplace burns in the evening. Cosy, enjoy, a second home….
