Description
Hallig Hooge is characterized by large fallow areas, some of which are used for livestock farming. There are large areas of salt marsh on the east and west sides of the Hallig. While the North Sea is on the north side, large mudflats are exposed around the rest of the Hallig Hooge at low tide. Isolated hills with clusters of houses, small ponds and shrub structures allow very close observations of migrating songbirds, especially during migration periods.
On a small sandbank on the northeastern side of Hallig Hooge is a hightide roost of waders and other waterbirds. But during very high tides the entire island is used as a roost. Breeding birds include Oštrigar, Crvenonoga Prutka and Mala Čigra on the small sandbar. Other birds you can encounter are depending on the season Grivasta guska, Zviždara, Utva, Gavka, Mali ronac, Modronoga Sabljarka, Zlatar Pijukavac, Troprsti Zlatar, Veliki Pozviždač, Riđa muljača, Kulik Blatarić, Kameničak, Žalar Cirikavac, Sivkasta Bjeloguza, Livadna Trepetljka, Arktička čigra, Crvenokljuna Čigra and Dugokljuna Čigra.
