Description

There are usually not many birds in the lagoon, but among the few birds there are often exciting species that can be observed from a short distance. For example jespák malý in autumn. Unfortunately, the beach is overcrowded and hardly offers a resting place for birds (except for sněhule severní and skřivan ouškatý in winter). At Schillighafen, many birds can be observed from a good distance at the high water rest area. Further to the west, the foreland becomes so wide that observation conditions deteriorate. But right at the transition from the beach to the salt marsh there are larger groups of waders (especially many ústřičník velký) and gulls during migration times. Individual racek černohlavýcan often be found among them.
