Description

The Norddorfer Marsch is bordered by dunes in the west and an overgrown and overblown dike– and in the east bordered by an asphalt dike, which was built after the great hurricane flood in 1962. This wetland is a paradise for water birds with ponds and water ditches – although it is barely a square kilometer. During autumnal migration there are several hundred Rauðhöfðaönd staying here. By mid-December at the latest, they will move across the North Sea to Holland. Margæs populate the marsh in their thousands in the spring. Of course also other geese like Grágæs and Helsingi can be seen here. Also birds like Brandönd, Tjaldur, Strandlóa, Fjöruspói, Lappajaðrakan, Rauðbrystingur, Lóuþræll and Stelkur can be seen.
