Descrizione

Year-round, the area is good for coastal birds and in the migratory seasons, there is a concentration of migrating birds over both sea and land.

In the winter, you can see great flocks of Orchetto marino and Orco marino, and it is a good place for Moretta codona, Piovanello tridattilo and different species of gulls, including Gabbiano reale pontico and sometimes Gabbiano glauco.

In the spring, ringing/banding of birds take place at the ringing center. during April and May, many passerines pass through, totalling around 2000 ringed birds every season. Seawatching is good from middle of April and you can observe great migration of Strolaga minore, wildfowls and terns and occasionally Labbo, mixed with other arctic species.

The spring is quickly replaces with autumn, as the wader migration start in the end of June and peak at the end of July with great numbers of arctic waders. Especially on days with wind from south-east, the colorfull waders are numerous and the mixed flock just keep coming.

The general autumn from end of August is what local and national birds are waiting for every year. With the point reaching out in the North Sea and the long coast line to the north, Blåvandshuk becomes the center for all migration on the west-coast of Denmark. In good weather, thousands of passerines, geese, ducks and other coastal birds pass through. In windy conditions, the scene changes and focus is finding scarce seabirds, such as Uccello delle tempeste codaforcuta, Berta grigia, Berta minore atlantica, Falaropo beccolargo and Gabbiano di Sabine.
