Descripción
Presterødkilen nature reserve is a shallow, nutrient-rich wetland, in the transition between brackish water and salt water. It is located to the east of Tønsberg town. Presterødkilen has large areas of exposed mud at low tide and is lined by dense reed beds, but the surroundings beyond that are urban-industrial and not very bird friendly. Presterødkilen is a very good area to see shorebirds. More than 40 species of waders have been recorded here. Also reed birds and birds of prey can be seen and Bigotudo sometimes in winter. With some luck you can see Águila Pescadora hunting. Among the birds you can observe in the area are Escribano Palustre, Escribano Cerillo, Barnacla Cariblanca, Tarro Blanco, Cerceta Común, Éider común, Porrón Osculado, Serreta Mediana, Ostrero Euroasiático, Zarapito Real, Combatiente, Correlimos Común, Rascón Europeo, Archibebe Claro and Archibebe Común.
