Descrição
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. Cisne-vulgar, Cisne-bravo, Merganso-pequeno, Pato-real, Merganso-grande, Pato-olho-d'ouro, Gaivota-argêntea, Gaivota-parda and Zarro-negrinha are the common seafowl during this period. Among other birds Ganso-comum, Garça-real, Picanço-grande, and Águia-rabalva are uncommon. Wintering woodpeckers like Pica-pau-cinzento, Pica-pau-verde, and Pica-pau-tridáctilo can be found most years.

Often along it smaller amounts of Ganso-de-faces-brancas and sometimes Ganso-campestre, Ganso-grande-de-testa-branca, and even Ganso-pequeno-de-testa-branca (only very rarley).
