Join Jos on a birding excursion on Texel!

With a small group, we head out into nature. A fun and educational experience where both you and the birds receive full attention.

Driven Birder & Nature Photographer

Passion for Birds

"My first experience with birdwatching was as a young boy, exploring the polders around my hometown, Rijnsburg, with my father. During secondary school, I often ventured into the Berkheide dune area between Katwijk and Wassenaar with friends to look for birds. In addition to birdwatching and survey work in this nature reserve, I frequently visited hotspots like the Oostvaardersplassen, Scheveningen pier, and IJmuiden. Soon, I began exploring the rest of the Netherlands, followed by visits to many destinations on other continents.

Dedicated Nature Photographer

In addition to being an enthusiastic birder, I am also a dedicated nature photographer specializing in bird photography. This passion makes me feel perfectly at home in my current residence, De Cocksdorp, on Texel, the renowned bird island. On this site, I regularly share blogs featuring recent observations and numerous photos of Texel's avifauna, as well as images from my international travels. Under the name BirdingTexel, I also organize distinctive birding excursions.

I hope to see you soon on Texel and... keep on birding!

Some photos from June

In the month of June, many birds have chicks or are still sitting on their nests. Some are even starting a second brood. In short, there's plenty to experience for birdwatchers and photographers alike.
