Inside the centre, you’ll find a shop and exhibition space with a wide range of binoculars, spotting scopes, bird books, and maps. Knowledgeable staff are on hand to give personal advice on the right equipment and to tell you where you have the best chance of spotting birds that day. From spoonbills in De Slufter to brent geese in the polders, the Bird Information Centre points you in the right direction. For children, there are interactive materials and treasure hunts to make birdwatching fun and educational.

The Bird Information Centre also organizes excursions and lectures, where experienced guides take you to Texel’s most beautiful birding areas. You’ll learn not only to recognize birds by their appearance but also by their calls and behaviour. Whether you’re an experienced birder or simply curious, the centre offers something for every level. Thanks to its location in De Cocksdorp, close to the Wadden Sea and nature reserves like Utopia and De Schorren, you step straight from the centre into nature. The Bird Information Centre is the ideal place to begin your birding adventure on Texel.
