Nyord Enge

The birds of the saltmarsh and the coast

Experience birdlife in one of the best wetlands in southeastern Denmark. On this tour. Nyord Enge is located on Nyord and consists of 400 ha of meadows and salt marsh, which together with the surrounding shallow water, incl. sand, small islands and islets constitute one of Eastern Denmark's most important resting and breeding sites, especially for waterfowl. Nyord Enge is an important breeding area for waders and ducks. In both spring and autumn, many migratory birds rest for a shorter or longer period of time during their migration between their breeding and wintering areas. In addition to waders and ducks, it is also possible to see herons, herons, White-tailed Eagle, Peregrine Falcon and depending on the season, species such as Marsh and Hen Harrier. We also expect to see various passerines such as Sky Lark, Meadow Pipit and and if we are lucky Bearded Reedling. On the short birding tour, we look for birds from the Bird Conservation Foundation's bird tower. From here we have a nice view of the whole large area as well as the surrounding shallow water. Due to the large distances, the guide brings a spotting scope. On the two-hour tour, we start our birdwatching from the bird tower and later we go to Hyldevang Nature Center, from where some of the birds in the soutwestern parts can be better seen art a closer distance. There will be time to enjoy coffee/tea and and maybe a snack.
