Description

The varying habitats in the Southern Asmaløy area makes this a great birding destination, either it's a seawatch or a night walk. The landscape is dominated by coastal heathland and coastal pine forest. The two shallows bays of Skipstadkilen and Vikerkilen create good waterbird habitats.

The area is great all year round. In winter Harelde boréale, Fuligule milouinan, Pingouin torda, Guillemot de Troïl and Mergule nain are some of the birds that can be found. Some of the breeding species are Hypolaïs ictérine, Râle d'eau, Pipit maritime, Pic vert, Pic épeichette, Traquet motteux, Tarier des prés and Rousserolle verderolle​​​​​​. Migration season is undoubtly the best time of the year. Gorgebleue à miroir, Pygargue à queue blanche, Rossignol progné, Merle à plastron, Bécasseau maubèche, Bécassine sourde, Grèbe castagneux and Tarier pâtre are all annual. The area is also good for rarities, especially during the autumn migration with birds such as Tarier de Sibérie, Serin cini, Pluvier guignard, Fauvette épervière, Pouillot à grands sourcils, Puffin majeur, Pipit de Richard and many more have been found

The area is popular and often used by hikers. There are several paths throughout the area. Most are easy to walk, but they can be slippery after rainfall. A lot of the paths have blue markings on trees, rocks, etc along them. A telescope is not a must, but it's definitely good to bring one.
