Descripción

The forests at Porkkala represent mixed forests of the temperate zone. The area's nature is versatile, and you can find old, pristine forests and barren, rocky islets. Porkkala is well known amongst birdwatchers because many migratory birds fly over the area. The most popular observation points are Lähteelä/Sunds birdwatching tower and observation platforms at Haahka rest area and at the southern point of Pampskatan. These observation points are located near the parking areas, so it is easy to carry a telescope.

Porkkala has a considerable population of Éider común and it is also an important rest area for Pato Havelda. Breeding birds are typical for the area and there are plenty of them nesting on the rocky islets: Gaviota argéntea europea, Cisne Vulgar, Barnacla Cariblanca and Ánsar común. Also Vuelvepiedras Común and Archibebe Común nest in the area. The list of migrating birds you can see here is long, also see the birdlist below.
