Beskrivning
Wedeler Marsch and Hetlinger Marsch are two adjacent wetland areas located along the Elbe River. On the northern side of the dike wide grassland plains offer great feeding opportunities to thousands of Geese (especially vitkindad gås), ducks, raptors and waders. On the southern side of the dyke, waders, gulls and havsörn can be found along the shoreline of the Elbe, feeding in the mudflats. Bird migration here can be great, several rare species breed here and the observation situation at "NABU Vogelstation Wedeler Marsch" is phenomenal, often including rarities and scarcities.
