Visit to the island of Texel.
Category: Holiday pics 2007. | Posted: Wed May 23, 2007 3:19 pm We left the mainland in Holand and took one of these ferries over to the island. It was a wet and blustery day but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves as there was such a variety of bird life to see. 
Here are just a few of the species we spotted whilst on the island. Nesting cormorants. 
Black tailed godwit. 
Lapwing with three babies. 
Greylag goslings, oystercatchers (back left) and shellduck (back right). 
Turnstones. 
Marsh harrier. Not the best of photographs but I didn't want to scare it off so took the piccie from inside the car. 
Best of all - a spoonbill!! 
Here are a few more piccies from the island. The lighthouse at the most northerly point of Texel. 
Ina told us that she'd always wanted a plastic cow for her lottie - well look what we found for sale on the island. I must send her a copy of this piccie!! 
I just has to take a picture of these too to show you all - every single flower is a flag iris!!! There must have been more than 5 acres of them altogether simply growing wild. 
Last but not least a beautiful sunset to finish off a great day.
