Descripción
Bergafjärden consists of a large coastal meadow in the middle and higher hill/mountainous areas to the north and south. Most of the coastal meadow has been turned into a large beach for tourists but there are parts untouched in the northern part of the bay. Over the years 207 species have been recorded. During winter ice-free periods are often birdrich although the shallow waters often makes it frozen during winters. Cisne Vulgar, Cisne Cantor, Serreta Chica, Ánade azulón, Serreta Grande, Porrón Osculado, Gaviota argéntea europea, Gaviota Cana and Porrón Moñudo are the common seafowl during this period. Among other birds Ánsar común, Garza Real, Alcaudón Norteño, and Pigargo Europeo are uncommon. Wintering woodpeckers like Pito Cano, Pito Real, and Pico tridáctilo can be found most years. Some years Negrón común, Serreta Mediana, Pato Havelda, Negrón especulado, Porrón Europeo and Garza Real also winter. In the forest most of common forest birds can be found. During invasions Camachuelo Picogrueso and Piquituerto Aliblanco can be found.
During spring most of the previously mentioned waterfowl become more common and in March many geese arrive. Larger amounts of Ánsar común (100 at most), and Barnacla canadiense grande (100 at most) can be found. Often along it smaller amounts of Barnacla Cariblanca and sometimes Ánsar Campestre, Ánsar careto, and even Ánsar chico (only very rarley). Among water fowl, Cisne Cantor (at most 300), Porrón Osculado (at most 300), and Cerceta Común (at most 90) along with smaller amounts of Negrón especulado, Éider común, Serreta Mediana, Serreta Grande, Serreta Chica, Ánade azulón, Cuchara Común and Silbón Europeo. Uncommon ducks in the area are Ánade friso, Ánade rabudo norteño, and Cerceta Carretona.
