Wintering wildfowl include Toppet Skallesluger, Hvinand, Krikand, Pibeand, Spidsand, Knortegås and Sangsvane. Waders may include Strandskade, Storspove, Rødben, Sortklire, Hvidklire, Hjejle, Strandhjejle, Islandsk Ryle and Lille Kobbersneppe. Stor Kobbersneppe are present all year round. Vandrikse and Enkeltbekkasin also winter but are secretive. Other waders seen on passage include Småspove, Brushane, Mudderklire, Svaleklire, Tinksmed, Krumnæbbet Ryle and Dværgryle.
