Description

Thorsminde is a small town on Denmark’s west coast. From the beach you can observe seabirds flying over the sea, such as Bluna, and resting and migrating sea ducks like Crna patka, as well as waders and gulls flying low over the water or resting on the stone jetties. Skuas and divers, such as Kratkorepi pomornik and Crnogrli Plijenor, are also regularly observed.

Apart from migrating terns, it is also worth taking a look at the surf zone, where you can regularly find dead and sometimes ringed birds, such as dead Tankokljuna njorka.
