Public beach in Kallahdenniemi. Great spot to see migrating waders.
Kallahdenniemen Uimaranta: the beach is a great place to watch birds during migration seasons as many species stop to rest and feed near the shore. Migrating waders are among the most interesting birds to see on the beach and it's possible to see a lot of rarer species if one is lucky. Ostrigar and Polojka are a pretty common sight by the beach and it's possible to spot waders like Crnotrba sprutka , Sprudnik migavac , Riđa sprutka ,Krivokljuni sprudnik , Žalar blatarić , Žalar slepić , Seda sprutka , Sprudnik ubojica , Mala carska šljuka , Laponska muljača and Crni sprudnik. Some lucky birders have even spotted Sabljarka here.
Sivi galeb , Obični galeb , Srebrnasti galeb , Mrki galeb , Obična čigra , Arktička čigra and Velika čigra are regular birds by the beach. Veliki ronac , Srednji ronac , Labud grbac ,Gluvara , Patka dupljašica , Ćubasta patka and Kanadska guska are also common water fowl.
While waiting for waders to make an appearance it's also good to keep an eye on the reeds and their surroundings as you can spot common birds like Bela pliska but also Žuta pliska if you're in luck. When small birds are around birds of prey aren't far behind in the form of Kobac , Jastreb , Eja močvarica and Lastavičar. Some very lucky birders have also seen Vodomar stop briefly on the area.
There's a parking place by the beach. The beach can be walked and cycled too.
When the water level is low, there are more open places for waders to forage on and they're easier to spot during those times. The tiny island in front of the beach also becomes accessible by foot at that time.
