The ferry route connecting Puttgarden to Rødbyhavn in Denmark is called 'Vogelfluglinie' , as this is the migration route of many birds, including raptors and seabirds. Besides migrants, also some attractive breeding birds are found here, several of them have disappeared outside the reserve. A walk around the reserve will allow you to see several different habitats and the birds that belong there. Check the pine trees for křivka obecná and kalous ušatý. In the lagoons, there are breeding potápka rudokrká. On the beach, rybák malýand kulík písečný nest. In the end of May and in August/September, a significant passage of včelojed lesní can occur. Many different waders take a stop on their migration. In the corresponding seasons, many migrating seabirds pass offshore, e.g. berneška tmavá, kajka mořská, turpan černý, turpan hnědý, divers. Keep watching for skuas in late summer and autumn. Winter is quieter, but you still can find good birds such as jespák mořský or sýkořice vousatá.
