Description

Following the dirt road down to the shore will give a nice view of the sea and the sand bar, Sandreveln. Depending on the tide it streches differently. The site can give all species of shorebirds that migrate along the swedish coast. Part from a good variety of Calidris and Tringa waders, gems such as Pacific Golden Plover, Baird's Sandpiper and Pectoral Sandpiper have been seen.

The pastures, bushlands and meadows on the shore are interesting as well with for example Barred Warbler, Corn Bunting and occasionally Montagu's Harrier.
