Sneum Lake is one of only a few larger, coastal lakes in the region and in the spring, summer and autumn, it is home for scarce species like Spatule blanche, Mouette mélanocéphale and Gorgebleue à miroir, and a mix of waterbirds that varies during the year. The lake attracts great numbers of birds and the list include vagrants such as Sarcelle élégante, Glaréole à ailes noires, Mouette de Franklin. The lake is always woths checking out.

The sea-side always hosts a great number of birds, year-round. In the winter, the tidal flats and salty marshland hosts several species of waders, ducks and gull that concentrate in the coastal bend, with spectacular numbers of Canard pilet. In the spring, the area host large numbers of arctic waders, including many thousand Bécasseau maubèche. In the summer, the number of birds decrease and focus species include breeding Grèbe à cou noir, Mouette mélanocéphale and Gorgebleue à miroir. In the late summer and autumn the scene changes and the area become home for yet again high numbers of geese, ducks, arctic waders and different passerines and hotspot for e.g. Spatule blanche with flock over 300 strong, yearly Phalarope à bec étroit and Guifette noire and regular surprises.
