This sheltered inlet is an internationally important wetland site for wildlife. Roughly half of the reserve is intertidal saltmarsh and mudflats, with the remainder of the reserve consisting of farmland, copses, lagoons, reedbeds and shingle beaches. You can see birds like prutgås, stjärtand, småtärna, rödspov and Silkeshäger. In winter large numbers of prutgås, tofsvipa and rödspov use the harbour or surrounding fields, with a supporting cast which includes kustpipare, ljungpipare and kärrsnäppa. svarthakedopping are seen offshore and småskrake in the harbour. Waders and wildfowl linger well into spring, including storspov, kustpipare, myrspov and rödspov, kärrsnäppa, stjärtand, bläsand, Kricka and prutgås. Smaller migrants arrive, such as sävsångare, rörsångare and lövsångare, svarthätta and gransångare sing in the bushes and stenskvätta hop about the beach. In summer småtärna and fisktärna can be seen fishing in the harbour.
