Description
Ingarö is mostly a forested island in Värmdö. Centrally on the island there is a relatively large connected open area with arable land and pasture. This area is called Norra Säbyfältet. The area attracts birds mainly during migratory periods, probably due to the fact that it is the only larger open area in the whole of Ingarö. A good area for birding in Värmdö. There are several good places to stand with good overview or you can make a walk through the fields. Among the birds you can see are Common Crane, Common Raven, Common Cuckoo, Western Yellow Wagtail, European Golden Plover, Dotterel, Common Ringed Plover, Little Ringed Plover, Northern Wheatear, Great Grey Shrike and Ring Ouzel.

After about 1 km you then turn right towards Stora Barnvik and after about 400 m opens arable land on the right side. There are a number of pockets along the way to park in. After another about 400 m, a tractor track goes straight out into the field. This track goes out to the ditch that runs across the fields (Återvallsbäcken).
