Description
Usedomer Strand is located near Peenemünde. From the beach you can easily observe migrating and resting birds. In winter, the Baltic Sea is full of sea ducks (like crna raca, zimska raca, beloliska, rjavka) divers (like čopasti ponirek, , rjavovrati ponirek) and swans. Loons (rdečegrli slapnik, polarni slapnik) migrate across the Baltic Sea.
In spring, groups of songbirds fly parallel to the dune forest to their breeding areas. From August onwards, individual Limikols (such as peščenec, spremenljivi prodnik, veliki prodnik, školjkarica) are on the beach and terns are on the water. From the smallest (mala čigra) to the largest (kaspijska čigra) everything is possible. In late autumn the geese (beločela gos, belolična gos, Njivska gos (serrirostris)) fly to their resting areas. belorepec is often observed in this area.
