When will you go exactly ?
I don't know the Normandy side of the Mont Saint Michel but on the Brittany side, I'd say anywhere between la Chapelle Sainte Anne and the village of Cherrueix is good for big wader flocks, gulls, shelducks and brant geese. Be aware that high tide is best so the all those birds come closer to the shore and form roosts, you can drive along the coastal road and check where those roosts are.
A visit to the Marais the Sougéal, not too far from le Mont itself can be good for ducks (especially shovelers, garganey and pintail) in early spring (there's usually a few waders present too).
There's a local guide that can arrange day trips I think (check out the Birding Mont Saint Michel website).
