Description
Heidkate Strand is at its best during the winter and spring. Large groups of diving ducks such as Gavka , Crni turpan and Ledenjarka are feeding and resting off the beach. While Morska sprutka can be found in suprisilngly large numbers moving between the breakwaters. Crnotrba sprutka, Bela sprutka, Morska trepteljka and planinska trepteljka can be found on the beach and the breakwaters, too. Gulls and other waterfowl can be seen in this areas as well. Crnogrli morski gnjurac and Riđogrli morski gnjurac can be seen offshore.
A lot of passerines are moving along this part of the coast during spring migration. Some of them rest in the bushes and small woodlands behind the dunes.
To get a good look at the birds on the beach and the breakwaters an early visit before most beach visitors and their dogs have arrived is recommended.
