The first locations have just been added to the Lambs Radar, marking the arrival of the season's earliest lambs in Texel's meadows. This delightful sight truly heralds spring on the island, known across the Netherlands as its premier sheep destination. Our interactive online map provides precise locations of newborn lambs throughout the Texel landscape. With 22,000 lambs expected between now and mid-April, the season is underway as the first ones appear on the radar.
The Lambs Radar delivers live updates on lamb locations. Starting with just one spot today, expect a baby boom next month, filling the map with dozens of sites. Local sheep farmers contribute by sharing current positions, making it perfect for spotting cute lambs, planning walks or bike routes, or finding ideal photo ops.
Sheep and lambs are frequently moved to new pastures, with farmers notifying the Lambs Radar via WhatsApp for prompt updates. They also share herd photos, viewable on Instagram at @lammetjesradar.
These are peak times for Texel's sheep farmers as the island transforms into a lamb haven. Cycle or stroll past blooming meadows for an authentic spring experience. Beyond locations, www.lammetjesradar.nl offers insights on sheep farmers, activities, and island accommodations.
