Wetland and nature reserve with lots of different bird species. Mostly on migration during spring and autumn. The area has easy access and good parking.
Vinnesleiro nature reserve is on the north side of Bjørnefjorden. The reserve includes a bay with shallow waters and parts of the peninsula Neset. A stream flows into a bay in the northeast, There are some smaller islets in the bay. For birds, the Leiro wetland is a resting place during the migration, especially the autumn migration. 21 species of waders have been recorded, most of them during migration. The area is also a foraging area for ducks, herons and gulls.

From the parking you are almost directly at the shallow Leiro bay. But you can also make a lomger walk. On the map you see a circular walk (about 5 km) around the Neset peninsula.
