Both at the waterfall and at the bird cliffs on the north side of the village, you can experience the seabirds. The species that you can often see above the sea are papuchalk severní, chaluha příživná and chaluha velká. Also terej bílý regularly fly by. buřňák lední is also easy to spot and beautiful to observe. On the water you can find alkoun obecný. They regularly take off, making them easy to observe.

Just before the village, next to the road, there is a colony of rybák dlouhoocasý. And when walking through the village, to the slightly higher bird cliffs, you can encounter species such as linduška luční and bělořit šedý.
