is a common breeding bird in the Texel dunes. Till far in May they migrate. At this time, the density is large and they allow themselves to good hearing and seeing. Summer guests as Swift, Spotted Flycatcher, Icterine Warbler and Marsh Warbler are still scarce and hardly seen. The next few days this will certainly change. With the Dutch Birding spring weekend coming it's likely that due the presence of many birders many species will be seen. The probability that there is a rarity in between is great!
