Description
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 Oie cendrée, Bernache nonnette, Bernache du Canada, Oie à bec court, Tadorne de Belon, Canard souchet, Canard siffleur, Sarcelle d'hiver, Coucou gris, Pigeon colombin, Vanneau huppé, Bécassine des marais, Héron cendré, Hibou des marais, Busard des roseaux, Buse variable, Faucon crécerelle, Pie-grièche écorcheur, Alouette des champs, Locustelle tachetée, Hirondelle rustique, Étourneau sansonnet, Fauvette grisette, Traquet motteux, and Pipit farlouse can be observed.
Other notable species that can be seen along the coast or in the reed beds include Cygne tuberculé, Bernache cravant, Eider à duvet, Harle huppé, Huîtrier pie, Barge rousse, Chevalier guignette, Chevalier gambette, Bécasseau variable, Sterne caugek, Goéland marin, Spatule blanche, Martin-pêcheur d'Europe, Panure à moustaches, Phragmite des joncs, Rousserolle verderolle, Rousserolle effarvatte, Gorgebleue à miroir and Linotte mélodieuse.
Détails
Accès
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.
