Description
With a mixture of coastline and agricultural fields, Kearney is an amazing place to see Fiskehejre, Strandskade, Knortegås, Rødben, Stenvender, Storspove, Småspove, Skarv, Gravand, Tornirisk, Gærdesmutte, Gråspurv, Vestlig Sortstrubet Bynkefugl, Engpiber and Skærpiber.
The walk is easy, along a coastal path, with an abundance of birds to see, especially after the Winter migrants arrive, when the area is also much quieter.
