Description
In and around Indalsälvens delta around 195 birds have been recorded. In around the delta there is a often variety of waterfowl. Urtönd, Rauðhöfðaönd and Hrafnsönd are often seen. The shallow beaches attract waders, espcially when the water levels are low. Some of the common waders are Tildra, Stelkur, Lóuþræll, Rúkragi, Tjaldur, and Lindastelkur. Sometimes rarer waders like Sanderla, Lappajaðrakan, Rauðbrystingur and Grálóa can be seen.
Next to the delta lies the area of Fagerviksfälten, that has fields that geese, waders and passerine birds often use as resting grounds. Sometimes the rare Fjallgæs can be spotted in the spring. Other birds who often use the field as feeding grounds are Heiðagæs, Hörfinka and Lyngfinka.
The large deciduous forests are used as breeding and feeding grounds for birds like Rósafinka, Grágrípur, Flekkugrípur, Stubbspæta, Gráspæta and Kjarnbítur. On and around the delta large amounts of gulls and terns are often seen. most common are Hettumáfur, Sílamáfur, Stormmáfur, and Sílaþerna. Dvergmáfur is seen regularly.

Access
Parking can be done on Skeppsholmen (the same island as the airport). On the island you take the exit out of the E4 and drive southwest on the island until you arrive at the parking spot. Press P on the map for directions. There are a few bridges connecting the island together, and a reasonable network of roads which makes the delta relativley easy to traverse.
