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; Zviždara, Šiljkan, Šarena utva, Krdža and less often Čegrtuša. In spring and summer it is also a good spot for Mala čigra and ocassionally Velika čigra, some years Sabljarka tries to breed (never with success). Breeding species are Barski petlovan, Barska strnadica.
As a spoot for shorebirds it is mainly good for Tringa; Crvenonogi sprudnik, Krivokljuni sprudnik, Sprudnik migavac, Crni sprudnik, Sprudnik pijukavac, Polojka. Other waders are more scarce even though Crnotrba sprutkais frequent and in small numbers other Calidris. Occasionally Srebrni vivak, Laponska muljača. As the name suggests there has been seen Dugokljuni sprudnik( 2002).
The grooves are interesting in spring and autumn migration for resting passerines; Vatroglavi kraljić, Mala muharica and in winter Šumska šljuka 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 Gavka. This is not the case, the reason is debated but the Öresundsbridge might be one of the answers, and a big part of the Gavkacross Skåne over land a bit further up at the coast. Despite this a low number of the migrating birds can be seen at sea.
