Description

Farhult Viken is a flat bay with shallow salt marshes, and outside them cultivated fields and fields with grazing animals. The location is best at low tide. Best suited for observing waders and ducks, and as the birds are relatively far away you should have a telescope. Especially in autumn and winter many waders are seen. In spring you can see the migration of buzzards. Other birds you can observe include Mărăcinar negru, Corcodel de iarnă and Gușă vânătă.
