Description
The lakes in Sankt-Peter-Ording allow you to observe water birds and waders. The large dune lake is surrounded by reeds, while the small one lies in the dune landscape. All year round, gulls such as rečni galeb,, srebrni galeb, veliki galeb and sivi galeb can be observed. In summer rjavi galeb also appears. There are also many species of ducks such as žličarica, kreheljc, žvižgavka, čopasta črnica, zvonec and, more rarely, individual rjavka.
On the small lake, waders such as močvirski martinec and pikasti martinec can often be seen on mud flats. Many songbirds can be seen in the reeds and small trees. Worth mentioning are several breeding pairs of modra taščica but also brkata sinica, prosnik and trstni strnad can be seen every year.
A special feature is the rjavovrati ponirek, which has the only nesting site here on the west coast of North Friesland.
