Descrição
Grüner Brink is one of the best birding places in the region. The ferry route connecting Puttgarden to Rødbyhavn in Denmark is called 'Vogelfluglinie' , as this is the migration route of many birds, including raptors and seabirds. Besides migrants, also some attractive breeding birds are found here, several of them have disappeared outside the reserve. A walk around the reserve will allow you to see several different habitats and the birds that belong there. Check the pine trees for Cruza-bico-comum and Bufo-pequeno. In the lagoons, there are breeding Mergulhão-de-pescoço-ruivo. On the beach, Andorinha-do-mar-anãand Borrelho-grande-de-coleira nest. In the end of May and in August/September, a significant passage of Bútio-vespeiro can occur. Many different waders take a stop on their migration. In the corresponding seasons, many migrating seabirds pass offshore, e.g. Ganso-de-faces-negras, Eider-edredão, Pato-preto, Pato-fusco, divers. Keep watching for skuas in late summer and autumn. Winter is quieter, but you still can find good birds such as Pilrito-escuro or Chapim-de-bigode.
