Nida Beach and dunes are a good bird-watching site for both seabirds and land birds in autumn and spring.

On the beach near the village of Nida, you can see the uncharacteristic for Latvia pebbly wall of the ancient Littorina coast and the sediments of the ancient Nida marsh.

Birds observed here

In spring and summer, the area is home to the Montagu’s harrier, short-eared owl, northern lapwing, common grasshopper warbler, river warbler, and Eurasian curlew. In spring and autumn, the meadows are a foraging site for a large number of common wood pigeons and stock doves, redwing, fieldfares, and European golden plovers. During the summer breeding season, the European serin, great grey shrike, European stonechat, and citrine wagtail can be observed here. Outside the breeding season, birds of prey hunt in the meadows, and black grouse, which are breeding in the Nida marsh, can be observed.
