Descrizione
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. Cigno reale, Cigno selvatico, Pesciaiola, Germano reale, Smergo maggiore, Quattrocchi, Gabbiano reale nordico, Gavina and Moretta are the common seafowl during this period. Among other birds Oca selvatica, Airone cenerino, Averla maggiore, and Aquila di mare are uncommon. Wintering woodpeckers like Picchio cenerino, Picchio verde, and Picchio tridattilo can be found most years. Some years Orchetto marino, Smergo minore, Moretta codona, Orco marino, Moriglione and Airone cenerino also winter. In the forest most of common forest birds can be found. During invasions Ciuffolotto delle pinete and Crociere fasciato can be found.
During spring most of the previously mentioned waterfowl become more common and in March many geese arrive. Larger amounts of Oca selvatica (100 at most), and Oca canadese (100 at most) can be found. Often along it smaller amounts of Oca facciabianca and sometimes Oca granaiola della taiga, Oca lombardella, and even Oca lombardella minore (only very rarley).

During this period common terns (Sterna codalunga, Sterna comune, Sterna maggiore), common gulls (Gabbiano reale nordico, Mugnaiaccio, Zafferano, Gavina and Gabbiano comune) and sometimes the rare Gabbianello is found.
