Description
In and around Indalsälvens delta around 195 birds have been recorded. In around the delta there is a often variety of waterfowl. Common Teal, Eurasian Wigeon and Common Scoter are often seen. The shallow beaches attract waders, espcially when the water levels are low. Some of the common waders are Ruddy Turnstone, Common Redshank, Dunlin, Ruff, Eurasian Oystercatcher, and Common Sandpiper. Sometimes rarer waders like Sanderling, Bar-tailed Godwit, Red Knot and Grey Plover can be seen.
Next to the delta lies the area of Fagerviksfälten, that has fields that geese, waders and passerine birds often use as resting grounds. Sometimes the rare Lesser White-fronted Goose can be spotted in the spring. Other birds who often use the field as feeding grounds are Pink-footed Goose, Linnet and Twite.
The large deciduous forests are used as breeding and feeding grounds for birds like Common Rosefinch, Spotted Flycatcher, Pied Flycatcher, Lesser Spotted Woodpecker, Grey-headed Woodpecker and Hawfinch. On and around the delta large amounts of gulls and terns are often seen. most common are Black-headed Gull, Lesser Black-backed Gull, Common Gull, and Common Tern. Little Gull is seen regularly.

Access
Parking can be done on Skeppsholmen (the same island as the airport). On the island you take the exit out of the E4 and drive southwest on the island until you arrive at the parking spot. Press P on the map for directions. There are a few bridges connecting the island together, and a reasonable network of roads which makes the delta relativley easy to traverse.
