Texel is really a
birdwatching paradise and is almost entirely run as an
ornithological reserve and natural park. Here you can see an
undescribable quantity of seabirds while the flights of wild
geese obscure the sky and fields. There are beaches, new and old
dunes, heaths, wetlands of all types, and extensive mudflats on
the Waddensea.
