Description
From the top of Lernacken there is a great view of the bay and the straight S of the Öresund bridge. Just below the height there is a small lagoon, reed beds, meadows and some groves. The area is interesting all times of the year but especially at spring and autumn.
From the very top of Lernacken, at the statue, there is a wide view in all directions and is a good spot to follow the migration.
The lagoon and outside the inlet is good for ducks; Rauðhöfðaönd, Grafönd, Brandönd, Urtönd and less often Gargönd. In spring and summer it is also a good spot for Dvergþerna and ocassionally Ránþerna, some years Bjúgnefja tries to breed (never with success). Breeding species are Keldusvín, Seftittlingur.
As a spoot for shorebirds it is mainly good for Tringa; Stelkur, Lyngstelkur, Flóastelkur, Sótstelkur, Trjástelkur, Lindastelkur. Other waders are more scarce even though Lóuþrællis frequent and in small numbers other Calidris. Occasionally Grálóa, Lappajaðrakan. As the name suggests there has been seen Bjúgstelkur( 2002).
The grooves are interesting in spring and autumn migration for resting passerines; Gullkollur, Peðgrípur and in winter Skógarsnípa has been seen.
The location close to the Öresund straight should suggest that the local would be good for watching seebirds and the migration along the coast, fex Æðarfugl. This is not the case, the reason is debated but the Öresundsbridge might be one of the answers, and a big part of the Æðarfuglcross Skåne over land a bit further up at the coast. Despite this a low number of the migrating birds can be seen at sea.
