Beskrivning
Holland Haven has a great reputation for being well watched by local birders. Situated along the coast this area get lots of interesting migrants that drop into the flooded scrape or the scrubland. Right next to the car park is an area of cover with some bushes which are always worth a search though for small passerines such as, brandkronad kungsfågel, grå flugsnappare, svartvit flugsnappare and tajgasångare.
Then as you walk towards the hide and the scrape, you need to scan the coastline. Here is a concrete structure where you may well find skärsnäppa which the site is well known for. If the tide is low and the mudflats are exposed you may see, storspov, strandskata, myrspov, kustpipare, roskarl and sandlöpare.
Looking out to sea one may find havssula flying passed and also smålom alongside sjöorre and småskrake. Plus the usual suspects of gull species .
Now you can walk away from the shoreline up to the ridge where you get a good view over the marsh and grazing meadows. Keep an eye out for overwintering geese, grågås , bläsgås and kanadagås. Its possible to see tofsvipa ,storspov and the odd small party of småspov feeding in the long grass.
Next is the flooded scrape area for such birds as, Kricka, bläsand, Skedand, gravand and prutgås. Many waders can be spotted including skärfläcka, rödbena, gluttsnäppa, drillsnäppa, skogssnäppa, rödspov and kärrsnäppa.
The marsh and grassland is a great hunting ground for raptors and regularly see Tornuggla, brun kärrhök, Pilgrimsfalk and the odd blå kärrhök.
