A large and very young (ca 200 years old) delta in Sundsvall. The area has large sand dunes and large amounts of deciduous forests.
In and around Indalsälvens delta around 195 birds have been recorded. In around the delta there is a often variety of waterfowl. čírka obecná, hvízdák eurasijský and turpan černý are often seen. The shallow beaches attract waders, espcially when the water levels are low. Some of the common waders are kamenáček pestrý, vodouš rudonohý, jespák obecný, jespák bojovný, ústřičník velký, and pisík obecný. Sometimes rarer waders like jespák písečný, břehouš rudý, jespák rezavý and kulík bledý 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 husa malá can be spotted in the spring. Other birds who often use the field as feeding grounds are husa krátkozobá, konopka obecná and konopka žlutozobá.
The large deciduous forests are used as breeding and feeding grounds for birds like hýl rudý, lejsek šedý, lejsek černohlavý, strakapoud malý, žluna šedá and dlask tlustozobý. On and around the delta large amounts of gulls and terns are often seen. most common are racek chechtavý, racek žlutonohý, racek bouřní, and rybák obecný. racek malý is seen regularly.
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. There are a few bridges connecting the island together, and a reasonable network of roads which makes the delta relativley easy to traverse.
