East Atlantic Flyway
The East Atlantic Flyway is a major migratory route for birds traveling between breeding and wintering grounds. It stretches from northern Europe down to western Africa, covering various habitats such as wetlands, coastal areas, and grasslands. This flyway is crucial for many species, including waders and waterfowl, as it provides essential stopover sites for resting and feeding.
Birds using the East Atlantic Flyway often rely on specific locations, such as the Wadden Sea and Camargue, to replenish their energy during long migrations. Conservation efforts are vital to protect these habitats, ensuring that migratory birds can thrive along their journey.
