Description

Hallands Väderö is an island that since 1958 has been a nature reserve due to its valuable old beech-forest, unusual fungi and large bird populations. Many of the varied rocky and sandy beaches are excellent bathing spots. Some coastal sections and skerries are reserved for seals and nesting seabirds. Gulls and other seabirds are common and many Pufla breed on the island. It is also the only place on the west coast of Sweden, where Kara Alk, Usturagaga and yaygın alk all three breed. But you can also find birds like Kuyrukkakan, Sarı kirazkuşu, Küçük Ak Gerdanlı Ötleğen, Ketenkuşu, Kızılkuyruk, Çayır taşkuşu and Benekli bülbül.
