To observe the spring migration of birds we have installed a camera on the Sassi Peninsula – in the same area where we in the autumn could observe the migration of mainly cranes and geese.
At the springtime migration particularly many barnacle geese arrive here to the coastal meadows. The first barnacle geese have already been seen on the nearby fields and also flying over the observation point. Here on the coastal meadows they have nothing to do before some green to nibble at has grown. The shore vegetation will only begin to develop when the air temperature permanently holds at least 5 degrees of warmth throughout day and night. The cool spring and cold sea have not let the vegetation on the Sassi meadows sprout
