Description
The Langwarder Groden was created by reopening a front dike, so that the diked Groden was opened again to the influence of the tide. This created extensive mud flats, shallow water areas and salt marshes - habitats for many breeding and resting birds. The Groden is part of the Wadden Sea National Park. During the breeding season, for example, Çayır incirkuşu, Tarlakuşu, Kızılbacak or Kızkuşu can be found here. During migration times, numerous migrants of the Wadden Sea can be observed here, partly in impressive numbers of waders, such as Kızılbacak, Altın yağmurcun or Kervançulluğu and ducks, such as Fiyu, Çamurcun or Kilkuyruk. Kır baykuşu and Gökçe delice also hunt in the salt marshes in winter.
The typical songbird winter guests such as Sarıgagalı ketenkuşu, Kulaklı toygar, kaya incirkuşu and Alaca kirazkuşu, as well as Mahmuzlu kirazkuşu can also be found here. There is a nicely landscaped path through the shingle areas and a very well positioned bird watching hide. Inside the dyke you can also watch flocks of geese grazing from the main dike. The "National Park House" visitor center is located in Fedderwardersiel.
