Descrição

Cap Gris-Nez is the migration bottleneck of the Straits of Dover. It allows the observation of a number of seabirds, often difficult to observe from the coast. It is a strategic site for a migration survey of seabirds, both in spring and autumn.

Seawatching is usually drawing in birders between the end of August and early November. During that time of the year, several species rarely observed from mainland France can be found: Gaivota de Sabine, Moleiro-grande, Moleiro-pomarino, Moleiro-parasítico and Moleiro-de-cauda-comprida (which is regularly seen), Pardela-preta, Pardela-sombria, Pardela do Mediterrâneo and Falaropo-de-bico-grosso.

During spring, the site is less reknowned for seabirds. A regular survey during mid March to mid May, however, has revealed the interest of the site for seawatching during spring. If the migration survey is mainly focusing on seabirds, the high cliffs are also suitable to watch migration over land (passerines, raptors), both for migrants following the coast, as well as for those leaving or arriving from Britain.
