Beskrivning

The northern part of the peninsula of Hindsholm consists of small islands, islets and crooked spits. There are a few copses and wet and dry meadows. Fyns Hoved itself has attractive scenery. The coast is stony with steep moraine cliffs, whilst inland the landscape is hilly with small fields divided by rows of stone walls. The long spit called Tornen, which is a bird reserve, curves round the shallow lagoon of Fællesstrand. South of the lagoon is the Jøvet, an outlook point with a view southwards towards Lillestrand with the islands of Mejlø, Bogø and the Langehoved peninsula.

tobisgrissla nest in the cliffs at Lillestrand 3km to the south and can be seen out at sea off the coast of Fyns Hoved. Breeding birds at the reserves of Tornen and Lillestrand include gravand, ejder, strandskata and större strandpipare. Some years småtärna breeds here.

Early in the morning at the end of April or May the thickets around Fyns Hoved can be swarming with passerines. The best chance of experiencing this is after misty nights with warm winds from the east. The spring migration can best be seen from Horseklint on the eastern side of Fællesstrand or from Baesbanke, which is the highest point on Fyns Hoved itself (25m). Both land and sea migration can be watched from here. Many species of passerine fly past. Early in spring, the first sånglärka appear, followed later on by finches, pigeons and crows. Later still, wagtails, pipits, hirundines, starlings and tits can be seen. The greater part of the raptors seen here are ormvråk, which begin migrating in February together with a few röd glada. In March/April, brun kärrhök, tornfalk, sparvhök and now and then Fiskgjuse can be spotted. Over the sea, there are movements of large numbers of divers, cormorants and ducks, especially diving ducks, the commonest species being ejder, svärta and sjöorre. Also gråhakedopping and småskrake are often seen.

Fællesstrand is an important staging area for ducks and waders, that forage in the shallow waters. The commonest birds seen here are gravand, bläsand, rödbena, kärrsnäppa, storspov, småspov and Storskarv.The area also attracts many gulls, Kentsk tärna and silvertärna. In the winter months, many seabirds can be seen on the sea around the peninsula. These include diving ducks, auks, divers and skuas. snösparv, skärpiplärka and skärsnäppa can now and then be seen on the coast.
