Just south of the abutment to the Öresund bridge is a small lagoon with some interesting surroundings.
From the top of Lernacken there is a great view of the bay and the straight S of the Öresund bridge. Just below the height there is a small lagoon, reed beds, meadows and some groves. The area is interesting all times of the year but especially at spring and autumn.
From the very top of Lernacken, at the statue, there is a wide view in all directions and is a good spot to follow the migration.
The lagoon and outside the inlet is good for ducks; Pibeand, Spidsand, Gravand, Krikand and less often Knarand. In spring and summer it is also a good spot for Dværgterne and ocassionally Rovterne, some years Klyde tries to breed (never with success). Breeding species are Vandrikse, Rørspurv.
As a spoot for shorebirds it is mainly good for Tringa; Rødben, Hvidklire, Tinksmed, Sortklire, Svaleklire, Mudderklire. Other waders are more scarce even though Almindelig Ryleis frequent and in small numbers other Calidris. Occasionally Strandhjejle, Lille Kobbersneppe. As the name suggests there has been seen Terekklire( 2002).
The grooves are interesting in spring and autumn migration for resting passerines; Rødtoppet Fuglekonge, Lille Fluesnapper and in winter Skovsneppe has been seen.
The location close to the Öresund straight should suggest that the local would be good for watching seebirds and the migration along the coast, fex Ederfugl. This is not the case, the reason is debated but the Öresundsbridge might be one of the answers, and a big part of the Ederfuglcross Skåne over land a bit further up at the coast. Despite this a low number of the migrating birds can be seen at sea.
