Helgoland’s Birds
For many, the’re the
island’s
principal attraction.
People have
been coming to the island to view the many species and their behaviors
since just after the turn of the 20th century. Given that we aren’t
birding experts,  we
would welcome comments here from those who are.
Meanwhile, there are some excellent online sources of information we
can recommend,
such as the
Ornithologische Arbeitsgemeinschaft Helgoland e.V., or OAG.
Below is a photo of a
sign placed on Helgoland
by the Verein
Jordsand Zum Schutze der
Seevögel und der Natur e.V. identifying
birds which can be seen on the island:
Dreizehenmöwe (Black-legged Kittiwake, Rissa
tridactyla), Eissturmvogel (Northern Fulmar, Fulmarus
glacialis), Basstölpel (Northern Gannet, Morus
bassanus), Tordalk (Razorbill, Alca torda),
and Trottellumme (Common Murre or Guillemot, Uria aalge).
