Description
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; (Ευρωπαϊκό) Σφυριχτάρι, Ψαλίδα (του Βορά), Βαρβάρα, (Ευρωπαϊκό) Κιρκίρι and less often Καπακλής. In spring and summer it is also a good spot for (Ευρωπαϊκό) Νανογλάρονο and ocassionally Καρατζάς, some years (Ευρωπαϊκή) Αβοκέτα tries to breed (never with success). Breeding species are (Ευρωπαϊκή) Νεροκοτσέλα, (Μεγάλο) Καλαμοτσίχλονο.
As a spoot for shorebirds it is mainly good for Tringa; Κοκκινοσκέλης, Πρασινοσκέλης, Λασπότρυγγας, Μαυρότρυγγας, Δασότρυγγας, Ακτίτης. Other waders are more scarce even though Λασποσκαλίδραis frequent and in small numbers other Calidris. Occasionally Αργυροπούλι, Θαλασσολιμόζα. As the name suggests there has been seen Ρωσότρυγγας( 2002).
The grooves are interesting in spring and autumn migration for resting passerines; Πυροβασιλίσκος, Νανομυγοχάφτης and in winter (Ευρασιατική) Μπεκάτσα 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 (Κοινή) Πουπουλόπαπια. This is not the case, the reason is debated but the Öresundsbridge might be one of the answers, and a big part of the (Κοινή) Πουπουλόπαπιαcross Skåne over land a bit further up at the coast. Despite this a low number of the migrating birds can be seen at sea.
