Kragesand

Sønderjylland  >  Denmark

Decent spot for autumn migration. There is a good view of the fjord and you can observe common seabirds as well as the more rare Loons and Auks.

Description

Kragesand is a good place to observe bird migration in late summer and autumn, when Scandinavian birds migrate south. Waders can migrate in August, while in the autumn eider ducks, geese, and terns are seen. Kragesand is, apart from Lakolk on Rømø, the best place in Southern Jutland to find Rødstrubet Lom and Sortstrubet Lom. Almindelig Kjove and Alk are often seen. In the winter, thousands of Ederfugl rest in the sea off Kragesand along with Hvinand, Havlit and Sortand.
