Description

The Bay of Nin and Nin Lagoon, with its muddy and sandy shallow shores and wetland areas along Queen’s Beach attract many birds who use these habitats during the spring and autumn migrations. Almost 80 species of birds were recorded on Queen’s Beach. Don't come birding here in summer when the beach is packed with bathers. But outside the high season you can always find some nice or surprising birds here. Among the birds that are regularly observed are Hvitbrystlo, Rødstilk, Storspove, Silkehegre, Tundralo, Myrsnipe, Gravand, Dvergskarv and Splitterne.
