The beach and dunes next to the pier are among the most exciting birding hotspots near my home. Several rarities have turned up here in the past. It is only a matter of time before the next good bird will arrive.
I list all birds observed from within about 500 m of the dunes next to the pier, from the pier itself or from the nearby Semafoorduin.
Since the summer of 2023 I have observed 218 bird species, including five introduced ones, in over 500 hours of birding.
