Among the birds found in the island include sea gulls, grey geese, eider ducks, common ringed plovers and even peregrine falcons. The Bird Island is sanctuary to several birds.

Detlef Hansen of Wadden Sea National Park explained that “The fact that in just a few years a new island is formed is very impressive. For conservationists this is anything but ordinary.” With sandbanks all over the place, it is amazing to note that about 49 plant species can be found throughout the island. The new island has almost 50 plant species.

The plants do not have the roots necessary yet to bind the dunes together.” Reports say that tourists were allowed to walk off the sands during the past week. They were however given strict guidelines to refrain from getting near the sea birds within the island.
