Description

Borkum is the largest of the East Frisian islands and therefore scenically varied and attractive. There are great hiking trails, a harbor and beautiful dunes and beaches. This Wadden Sea island is a resting point for many birds. Many beautiful bird species can be found on the Wadden side of Borkum, such as Spatule blanche, Sterne arctique and Sterne pierregarin. On the beach side you can see gulls, ducks, terns and if you are lucky Plongeon catmarin, Grand Labbe or Labbe pomarin.

Countless waders like Barge rousse, Huîtrier pie, Courlis cendré, Chevalier gambette and Bécasseau variable scurry through the mudflats and songbirds rest in bushes and dunes. Due to the migration of small birds, the island has a high potential for the observation of rarities. In northwesterly winds, seabirds such as shearwaters or Fou de Bassan, Pingouin torda, Guillemot de Troïl and Mouette tridactyle can appear, in easterly winds Siberian warblers.
