Modeled after the giant egg of a tern, the Tji Bird Observatory is nested in a willow twig nest in the Haringvliet Nature Reserve. Behind the cracks in the egg lies a vast cavity made of artfully crafted wooden struts, from where you can observe the diverse birdlife of the Haringvliet in all directions. A truly exceptional place.

On the edge of the Haringvliet is a special bird observatory. It is shaped like an egg of the sandwich tern. But then 8 meters high and 11 meters long! And you have a 360 degree view over a colony of sandwich terns, but also the vast Haringvliet and the Haringvliet locks.
