Birdwatching day tour dunes & grasslands,

The area we will go birding will be in the Haarlem and IJmuiden area. This area is situated on the west side of Amsterdam.The Dunes west of Amsterdam  are part of a nature reserve that offers great birdwatching. You can find here birds like: Hobby, Rufous Nightingale, Grasshopper Warbler, Common Redstart, Northern Wheatear and many others. We also visit the surrounding typical Dutch grasslands to find Sky Lark, Black Tailed Godwitt and other waders. In spring we can combine this tour with a drive through the famous bulb fields of the Netherlands.  You can also find many windmilss in this area. A visit to the pier of IJmuiden to look for sea-and shorebirds is also possible.
