Descripción
Påarp is a very scenic area that is worth a visit regardless of the season. Påarp is primarily a top-notch wader location. During spring and autumn migration, many waders pass and rest here, often in large numbers. The area consists of a lagoon that lies inside two grassy, smaller, connected islands called "Skäret". The surroundings consist of grazed beach meadows alternating with low shrubs. Just south of Skäret, outside "Klapperstensfältet", there is an underwater reef that often attracts large flocks of diving ducks. Adjacent to the area is a newly created wetland just east of the E6, 'Larssons våtmark'.
The area is mainly interesting to visit during spring and autumn migration. Then, when the weather changes, they can come down and rest in large numbers inside the lagoon. The site is particularly famous for its large flocks of resting waders in May. But it must be said that the site is a good all-round site for most birds. Ducks such as Éider común, Negrón común and Negrón especulado are seen in large numbers resting or out in the bay during much of the year. Divers and grebes are seen almost daily. Barnacla Carinegra and Barnacla Cariblanca also pass and rest at the site during spring migration. Birds of prey pass both in spring and autumn. In the autumn there can also be a lot of gulls and plovers on the beach, especially at night. If you are lucky, there is a rarity among them, for example Gaviota del Caspio, Gaviota Patiamarilla or Gaviota Cabecinegra. Other resting birds include warblers and pipits.
Rare birds that have been observed in the area include: Cerceta Aliazul, Negrón Careto, Negrón americano, Porrón Acollarado, Espátula Común, Garceta Común, Garceta Grande, Chorlitejo Mongol Grande, Agujeta Escolopácea, Correlimos Pectoral, Archibebe Fino, Correlimos Canelo, Fumarel Aliblanco, Bisbita Campestre, Bisbita Alpino, Collalba Pía and Mirlo Capiblanco. Éider real and Colimbo Grande have been seen almost annually out in the bay. Agachadiza Chica may sometimes roost around the wetland at the field to the south.

Påarp is located just under 10 km south of Halmstad city centre. From the center of Halmstad, take Laholmsvägen road 117 south towards Laholm to Trönninge. From the E6: Exit at junction 43 at Eurostop and drive south along road 117 past the Trönninge community. Shortly after Trönninge, turn right towards Påarp. Follow the road straight west towards the sea, through a crossroads and under the E6. Follow the road a bit up the hill after the viaduct and then turn right again on a small road, "Strandvallen", down to the parking lot. Press a P on the map for directions to a parking. Go straight out towards the sea through the turnstiles to the best observation point next to the large stone "Slyngesten".
Early mornings during the summer months have good light with the sun at your back. North of Skäret is Trönningestranden, where there are often resting waders and seagulls. In this area, you can also see Búho Campestre and wintering Aguilucho pálido hunting. There is an information board at the parking lot. To the south there is a larger gravel area and a burial ground to view. Outside this, as mentioned, there are often plenty of diving ducks.
Please respect the bird protection on Skäret, see information on posted signs.
