Spiekeroog is one of the islands closest to nature in Germany. Surrounded by the Wadden Sea it's a great place to find seabirds, shorebirds and other migrants.

Descrizione

A visit to Spiekeroog can be very relaxing and exciting and the same time. The laid-back living-style on the island, where cars are forbidden and even bikes are scarse allows for great stress relief in the vast expanses of marshes, wadden areas or in the scenic village, while huge flocks of Piovanello pancianera , Pettegola and many other waders allow for stunning flight spectacles. There are huge breeding colonies of Spatola, Zafferano and the songs of Allodola fill the air, whereas in spring and autumn you may always hope for great seawatching and rare vagrants.

Informazioni aggiuntive

Visiting the island is worthwile at every time of the year as awesome birds can be found throughout the year. Migration can be spectacular in spring and autumn with tens of thousands of Piovanello pancianera , Beccaccia di mare , Chiurlo maggiore , Pittima minore , Volpoca , different gulls feeding in the mudflats. Among them rarer waders such as Gambecchio comune, Piovanello comune or Chiurlo piccolo can be spotted with a bit of patience. The island is famous for being the only stronghold of Gufo di palude in Germany and some of the very last breeding German Albanella reale.

Seawatching can be very worthwile especially in early May and late September, with good chances for all four Skua species and the occasional alcids or tubenose flying by. The grasslands in the eastern part of the island, where gulls , waders and Spatola breed are closed off to the public during the breeding time.
