In February, you can still find many winter visitors on Texel. Think of various species of geese, Golden Plovers, Horned Larks, Snow Buntings and with a little luck you can find a Jack Snipe. But at the same time the first summer visitors are coming back. Black-tailed Godwits! Although still in very small numbers. Secretly I hope soon to welcome the first Bluethroat.
