I worked on Neeltje Jans back in 1982, during the construction phase. (I was writing software for a training simulator for a specialised construction barge called "Cardio"). I stayed in Renesse during the week, returning to Den Haag for the weekends, so I didn't get much time to explore the area. But some evenings I'd go down to the beech, and if I'd been working late I'd take the morning off to explore the dunes and woods. It was easily the nicest place I ever worked.

Very interesting story. It's also interesting how many people dislike gulls and pigeons. I find both fascinating in their ability to adapt and thrive among the ever expanding human presence. While human generated waste isn't the nutrition they need, they take the easy meal whenever they can. I hope people are being careful with plastics and things made from metal and glass which can create death traps for birds and other local inhabitants.
