Description
Särkkäniemi Nature Reserve is a great spot for seeing waterfowl all around the year. Лебідь-шипун family can be seen around the area on a daily basis and Крех великий and Крижень are common sightings as well. Гоголь зеленоголовий , Крех середній , Чернь чубата , Пірникоза велика , Казарка білощока , Лебідь-кликун , Широконіска північна and Пухівка зеленошия are common birds especially during the warmer months. Чапля сіра likes to stop by the rocky points of the shore and Баклан великий often dries its wings by the point too.
During shorebird migration season it's possible to see birds like Побережник чорногрудий forage for food in small groups by the rocky shores. The calls of Коловодник болотяний , Кулик-сорока and Набережник палеарктичний are familiar sounds in the area during summer too. The lagoon bays provide shelter to shore birds and ducklings and are also great places to spot frogs in spring time. Вівчарик весняний , Золотомушка жовточуба , Вівчарик-ковалик , Зяблик звичайний , Зеленяк звичайний , Вівчарик жовтобровий , Вільшанка and sometimes Мухоловка мала can be heard singing in the coastal meadow areas. During autumn migration some birders have heard the sounds of Сутора вусата, або синиця вусата among the reeds too. The views to the sea open the possibility to see even wider variety of birds flying by from the more common Крячок річковий , Крячок полярний , Мартин сивий and Мартин звичайний to Крячок каспійський and Орлан-білохвіст. It's also possible to come across roe deer, grass snakes and lizards in the area.

NoExtra info
Rain and the raising of the water level can sometimes make parts of the paths muddy and slippery. The area's duckboards can also float if the water level is high so it's good to pay attention to one's feet when visiting and wear shoes suitable for muddy areas if it has been raining recently.
