Description
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. Bütykös hattyú, Énekes hattyú, Kis bukó, Tőkés réce, Nagy bukó, Kerceréce, Ezüstsirály, Viharsirály and Kontyos réce are the common seafowl during this period. Among other birds Nyári lúd, Szürke gém, Nagy őrgébics, and Rétisas are uncommon. Wintering woodpeckers like hamvas küllő, Zöld küllo, and Háromujjú hőcsik can be found most years. Some years Fekete réce, Örvös bukó, jegesréce, Füstös réce, Barátréce and Szürke gém also winter. In the forest most of common forest birds can be found. During invasions Nagy pirók and Szalagos keresztcsőrű can be found.
During spring most of the previously mentioned waterfowl become more common and in March many geese arrive. Larger amounts of Nyári lúd (100 at most), and Kanadai lúd (100 at most) can be found. Often along it smaller amounts of Apácalúd and sometimes Vetési lúd, Nagy lilik, and even Kis lilik (only very rarley). Among water fowl, Énekes hattyú (at most 300), Kerceréce (at most 300), and Csörgo réce (at most 90) along with smaller amounts of Füstös réce, Pehelyréce, Örvös bukó, Nagy bukó, Kis bukó, Tőkés réce, Kanalas réce and Fütyülő réce. Uncommon ducks in the area are Kendermagos réce, Nyílfarkú réce, and Böjti réce.

During perfect weather even Sarki partfutó, Fenyérfutó, Sarki partfutó, Apró partfutó, Sárjáró or Sarlós partfutó can be found although these are more common during autumn (while still being very rare).
During this period common terns (Sarki csér, Küszvágó csér, Lócsér), common gulls (Ezüstsirály, Dolmányos sirály, heringsirály, Viharsirály and Dankasirály) and sometimes the rare Kis sirály is found.
