Description
The FTZ meadow is an area east of Büsum harbor that is partially submerged during high tide. At high tide, Gâscă călugăriță and other geese settle on the meadow. Locals consider the meadow a place to observe migratory birds of prey and songbirds, including Erete vânăt, Uliu păsărar, Șoim de iarnă on one side, and Codobatură galbenă, Codobatură de munte, Rândunică on the other. Botgros and Pițigoi de brădet are also frequently seen, and occasionally Potârniche.
