During each spring around 6000 sångsvan stay at the delta. Around one thousand gräsand, Kricka, and bläsand use the area as feeding grounds during the spring. Also hundreds of stjärtand, knipa, storskrake and vigg. Ducks who are rarely seen in Northern Sweden like årta, gravand, snatterand, brunand, and bergand can often be seen.
Large amounts of wader use the delta as feeding grounds. Most common are brushane, kärrsnäppa, ljungpipare, storspov, tofsvipa and grönbena. Also rare waders like mindre strandpipare, smalnäbbad simsnäppa, rödspov, fjällpipare, myrspov and myrsnäppa. videsparv is regularly seen. brun kärrhök and ortolansparv breed.
During spring the fields close to the delta are fillled with geese, passerine birds and waders. Some of the rarer birds often seen are lappsparv, hämpling, rödstrupig piplärka and turkduva. During atumn the coastal meadows are once again filled with wading birds migrationg south. During autumn more arctic waders are seen, while less of the southern species are seen.
In several places in the nature reserve there are bird towers and other facilities for bird watching. See the map below. Click on a P in the map to get directions to that point. To protect nesting birds, you are not allowed to walk off marked trails between April 1 and August 15. Ramps, bird towers, hides and platforms may be used during this time.
A suspension bridge suitable for both wheelchair users and strollers makes Stora Tuvan accessible from the parking lot (see the map). On the island, an accessible ramp through lush deciduous forest goes out to the bird tower. The ramp is also available for the visually impaired. There is a hide at the far end of the headland.
