Just south of the abutment to the Öresund bridge is a small lagoon with some interesting surroundings.
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; Rață fluierătoare, Rață sulițar, Călifar alb, Rață mică and less often Rață pestriță. In spring and summer it is also a good spot for Chiră mică and ocassionally Pescăriță mare, some years Ciocîntors tries to breed (never with success). Breeding species are Cârstel de baltă, Presură de stuf.
As a spoot for shorebirds it is mainly good for Tringa; Fluierar cu picioare roșii, Fluierar cu picioare verzi, Fluierar de mlaștină, Fluierar negru, Fluierar de zăvoi, Fluierar de munte. Other waders are more scarce even though Fugaci de țărmis frequent and in small numbers other Calidris. Occasionally Ploier argintiu, Sitar de mal nordic. As the name suggests there has been seen Fluierar sur( 2002).
The grooves are interesting in spring and autumn migration for resting passerines; Aușel sprâncenat, Muscar mic and in winter Sitar de pădure 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 Eider. This is not the case, the reason is debated but the Öresundsbridge might be one of the answers, and a big part of the Eidercross Skåne over land a bit further up at the coast. Despite this a low number of the migrating birds can be seen at sea.
