The area around the church of Horn is a cascade of large fields, forests, wetlands ending in the lake Åsunden.
The area around Horn kyrka is a quite good site for geese with hundreds of tajgasädgås, grågås, and kanadagås found most years. Often with lesser amounts of bläsgås, tundrasädgås, spetsbergsgås, and vitkindad gås interspersed. prutgås has been seen. Most geese are found by Rien (marked with a star on the map) in late Febuary and March.
During the spring Riens water overflow and large amounts of open water form. When this happens large amounts of gräsand (at most 200), and Kricka (at most 150) rest in the area. Among these ducks you can observe smaller amounts of bläsand, snatterand, bläsand, stjärtand (uncommon), Skedand (uncommon), and årta (rare). Sometimes also some diving ducks. But since water levels vary each spring the amount and variation of ducks at Rien vary accordingly. The wetland at Hornebergs holds permanent water, and usually some dabbling ducks, but not in the same amount. Horn Marsh along with its ponds is also quite good for small amounts of different dabbling ducks.
Diving ducks are most usually found in Åsunden with storskrake, vigg, knipa being common, while småskrake and salskrake are uncommon. At Trossbonäs rare diving ducks like sjöorre, and svärta can be found with luck in April. Even ejder and bergand have been seen there.
In spring if Rien has water in late April waders rest there. grönbena, skogssnäppa (at most 23), tofsvipa, and enkelbeckasin (at most 100). On the fields ljungpipare, at Åsunden drillsnäppa sing, and in the forests morkulla can be found. During heavy autumn rain Rien can gain enough water for waders such as gluttsnäppa, brushane, kärrsnäppa, storspov, större strandpipare, and spovsnäppa. The fields around Bränna and Västa eneby are pretty good areas for dvärgbeckasin in November.
Among predatory birds tornfalk, ormvråk, Bivråk, fjällvråk, havsörn, sparvhök, duvhök, Fiskgjuse, lärkfalk and blå kärrhök are all common. kungsörn, stenfalk, Pilgrimsfalk, and Brun glada are all rare but seen some years. The best places for them are Bränna, Rien, and Åshorva.
Large amounts of passerine birds move along the fields around Horn, therefore large amounts of hämpling, ängspiplärka, gulärla and other common meadows birds are found along with other rare passerine birds like blåhake, ringtrast, lappsparv (very rare), snösparv, and vinterhämpling. The best places for these are Bränna and Rien.
The wetland around Rien and Hornsberg have large amounts of reed and trees which make them excellent places for nightactive birds. All the common bird are found some years with kornknarr, vaktel, busksångare, flodsångare, småfläckig sumphöna, and gräshoppsångare. Even mindre sumphöna has been found.
Horn is located on the southern shores of lake Åsunden. No good parking spots can be found for most of these places but it is often possible to park alongside the road. The area is best explored with bike or car and perhaps not best suited to tourists because there are few facilities for visitors.
