Description
The island of Rømø is located in the Danish Wadden Sea. The area is not so rich in species as others, still a few hundred have been spotted, but it houses waders, ducks and geese and Havørn in huge numbers, some species in the 5 digits. Once you drive across the Rømødæmning, (Rømø Dam, that connects the island to the mainland) you will be able to see thousands of birds, even without binoculars.
Bird migration tops in March/May and August/October. Both spring and autumn, hundreds of thousands of birds – primarily waders – rest on the island’s mudflats. Myrsnipe form the biggest flocks, but Polarsnipe, Tjeld, Storspove, Småspove, Lappspove, Heilo, Rødstilk, Avosett and Gluttsnipe also appear in large numbers. It is not unusual to see more than 20 different species of wader on a single day. Most of the breeding Hvitbrystlo in Denmark are spotted near Sønderstrand on Rømø. The Hvitbrystlo is an endangered species.

Access
You can find small parking lots all over the island and Rømødæmningen. It is allowed to drive at the beach, at your own risk though, since it is flooded on a daily basis.
