Description

As soon as you arrive by ferry on Terschelling you actually already have a view of the bay of Dellewal. It is located just outside the village of West-Terschelling, immediately east of the harbor. The bay is located directly on the Wadden Sea. During high tide you can see thousands of waders here such as s rdečenogi martinec, veliki škurh, spremenljivi prodnik, progastorepi kljunač, školjkarica and veliki prodnik. But there is also a good chance of birds like gaga, duplinska kozarka, grivasta gos and žličarka.

Nederlands: Dellewal is één van de belangrijke hoogwatervluchtplaatsen voor vogels op Terschelling. Direct als je aankomt met de veerboot kijk je eigenlijk al op deze baai uit. Dellewal ligt net iets buiten het dorp West-Terschelling, meteen ten oosten van de haven. De baai ligt dus aan de kant van de Waddenzee. Tijdens hoogwater kun je hier duizenden steltlopers zien zoals rdečenogi martinec, veliki škurh, spremenljivi prodnik, progastorepi kljunač, školjkarica en veliki prodnik. Maar ook veel kans op vogels als gaga, duplinska kozarka, grivasta gos en žličarka.
