A potential Collared Flycatcher seen on ​​September 27 and 28 was the cause of much commotion among birdwatchers. The location was near the Vuurtorenweg at camping the Robbenjager. However, sound recordings and good pictures did not exclude Pied Flycatcher. On the last day there was a short sighting of a Hoopoe near the lake behind the Robbenjager. In addition to seek bushes, fields and wetlands it is sometimes worth a few hours sea watching. Sightings of Pomarine Skuas, Long-tailed Jaegers, Northern Fulmars, Sooty Shearwaters and on 27 September a Little Auk at post 9 were reported.
