Descripción

Elling Strandenge and Apholmen contains a variety of different habitats and, in addition to its ornithological interest, is also of entomological and botanical interest. The main part of the area, Elling Strandenge, consists of meadows and pastures where cattle graze seasonally, and a stream, Elling Å, runs through it. The stream separates the meadows from the low dunes with scattered bushes that lie along the Kattegat. To the southeast, the dunes and meadows are replaced by a continuous area of reedbeds, and the stream flows into the sea. Further south, the reedbeds are replaced by more scattered small reedbeds, mudflats, and meadows that are occasionally grazed by sheep.

Overall, the area offers a variety of birds, such as geese, waders, ducks, birds of prey, seabirds, and passerines. On the large wet meadows and pastures, species such as Ánsar común, Barnacla Cariblanca, Barnacla canadiense grande, Ánsar piquicorto, Tarro Blanco, Cuchara Común, Silbón Europeo, Cerceta Común, Cuco Común, Paloma Zurita, Avefría Europea, Agachadiza común, Garza Real, Búho Campestre, Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental, Busardo ratonero, Cernícalo vulgar, Alcaudón Dorsirrojo, Alondra Común, Buscarla Pintoja, Golondrina Común, Estornino Pinto, Curruca Zarcera, Collalba Gris, and Bisbita Pratense can be observed.

Other notable species that can be seen along the coast or in the reed beds include Cisne Vulgar, Barnacla Carinegra, Éider común, Serreta Mediana, Ostrero Euroasiático, Aguja Colipinta, Andarríos Chico, Archibebe Común, Correlimos Común, Charrán Patinegro, Gavión Atlántico, Espátula Común, Martín Pescador Común, Bigotudo, Carricerín Común, Carricero Políglota, Carricero Común, Ruiseñor Pechiazul and Pardillo Común.

Accesso

The Elling Strandenge and Apholmen area is located in between Frederikshavn to the south, Strandby to the north, Elling to the west, and the Kattegat to the east. The area is most easily accessible on foot, as access to the dunes and meadows is via narrow, uneven trails, but there are several parking options for cars and bicycles in the immediate vicinity to points of interest.

As the area is quite large, it may be necessary to divide the visit into several stages, perhaps exploring the northern and southern parts separately. Otherwise, you can enjoy a good, long walk just by exploring the area and following the coastline and trails. A boardwalk cuts through the large area of reedbeds. Expect to use several hours if you wish to explore the area in full.
