Description
Gilbjerg Hoved is a hotspot to watch spring migration. Gilbjerg is known for its unique small bird migration and is a great location to watch migration of smaller birds. But birds of prey are also seen such as falcons and Spurvehøg, also Fiskeørn, Musvåge, Fjeldvåge and Hvepsevåge. They can come in large numbers, especially in fresh, sometimes even strong winds from the east to the south. Over the years, many rare birds have been observed here.
In the area there are a number of viewpoints. At the eastern end is Solsortesøen and other humid areas. Here there may be an excellent small bird population, among others, Stor Tornskade, Rødrygget Tornskade, warblers, thrushes (including Ringdrossel), Bynkefugl, Stenpikker and other small birds.
