Even now and again Parrot Crossbills are seen in the woods around De Koog. A Hoopoe roams for several weeks around the parking lot at paal 17. On November 16, an Arctic Redpoll was seen at a holiday park in Oosterend. The first record of Pallas's Leaf Warbler of 2017 concerns a catch at ringing station Korverskooi on 17 November. Yesterday, a White-throated Dipper popped up in the Pompevlak. Later the same bird was seen a little further in the Grote Vlak near Den Hoorn. Striking was the sighting of a late Pied Flycatcher in the Geul on 5 November.
