Description

The coastal section of Horumersiel are Crildumersiel is rich in water birds and waders. Every year, many Bernache cravant can be seen northeast of the port of Horumersiel. Eider à duvet can be located in the harbour itself, while on the stone walls outside the harbour at high tide Tournepierre à collier and various gull species rest. During storms this place might be very useful for seewatching as such sheartwaters, skuas and Mouette de Sabine have already bin observed although it is hardly practiced so far. The best place is sitting in shelter of the harbour pier. During bird migration, many Bécasseau variable, Grand Gravelot and Chevalier gambette can be observed, which gather shortly after flooding on the free-falling mudflats just south of the harbour. East of the harbour, individual Plongeon catmarin and Harle huppé can be discovered in winter. The inland depression southwest of the port is interesting all year round. Various species of ducks can be seen here, as well as Harle bièvre in winter. During high tide there are often large groups of Courlis cendré and Canard siffleur right next to the main road. Crildumersiel, the small but easily visible flood rest area, is about three kilometers south. In addition to Chevalier gambette and Chevalier aboyeur, Huîtrier pie and Courlis cendré , this is a very good spot to see Courlis corlieu from the dike. You can approach quite closely and they are used of tourists so it is worth to check the bird groups thoroughly in order to find rare species or colour-rings. It has a good list of rarities recorded with Goéland d'Audouin, Mouette de Bonaparte , Bécasseau rousset , Chevalier bargette, Martinet pâle being the best so far.
