Tetney Marshes boast a varied mosaic of habitats including salt marsh, sandy beaches, dunes, mudflats and lagoons. In autumn you can see flocks of sepelhanhi, isosirri, kapustarinta and pulmussirri. The site also attracts wintering sinisuohaukka and vuorihemppo.

During the summer, the air is filled with the songs of kiuru, rytikerttunen, ruokokerttunen and pensaskerttu to name a few. Its a great site to visit year round for a good variety of species.
