Description
Busör is one of the west coast's best locations for birdwatching, especially in the spring, but the birding can be rewarding all year round. In spring the bird migration can start as early as the end of February with geese and swans, but usually does not start in earnest until the Gavka migration (with occasional Kraljevska gavka each spring) around March 20. It continues with Crna patka, grebes and skuas. At the end of April, terns and Crvenogrli Plijenor start migrating with occasional Žutokljuni plijenor and Širorepi pomornik being present. In May, Arctic waders such as Žalar Cirikavac, Riđa muljača, Zlatar Pijukavac and Rđasti Žalar can also pass.
The arrival of summer means a more quiet time, with the exception of strong westerly winds that can bring a little bit of everything in the way of seabirds. Autumn migration already starts in mid-July, when the waders start to appear, including Žalar Cirikavac, Krivokljuni Žalar, Mali Žalar, Sijedi Žalar and sometimes some Plosnatokljuni Žalar. With fresh winds from the west, you can have a nice migration of seabirds, including auks, Troprsti galeb, Bluna, Sjeverni zovoj, skuas, Mali Galeb and sometimes even Lastorepa burnica. The migration often passes close to land.
In winter with fresh winds from the west, you can have a nice stretch of mainly auks and Troprsti galeb. Planinska trepteljka is now seen annually on the beach meadows, as are other pipits and Bijela strnadica. Morski žalar and Morski Vranac are occasionally seen on the reef. In mild winters, Šljuka Kokošica, Mala Šljuka and Šumska šljuka can also overwinter.
Rare birds that have been observed include Crvenovrata guska, Stelerova gavka, Black Scoter, Surf Scoter, Sjeverni plijenor, Veliki zovoj, Burnica, Mala Bijela Čaplja, Velika Bijela Čaplja, American Golden Plover, Pectoral Sandpiper, Riđa liskonoga, Glaucous Gull, Galeb klaukavac, Galeb Klaukavac, Lastorepi galeb, Ružičasti galeb, Debelokljuna Čigra, Bjelokrila Čigra, Debelokljuna njorka (several finds), Grlica, Ušara, Crnoglavi Batić, Iberijski zviždak, Vatroglavi Kraljić, Žutarica, etc.
Breeding birds include Crvenonoga Prutka, Mali djetao, Zelena žuna and Zviždak.
Tip: Take a walk in the coastal forest inside the cape. Especially after nights with good small bird migration, as there can be a lot of birds there.

Access
Busör is located northwest of Halmstad. From Halmstad, drive along the coastal road north towards Steninge. 1.5 kilometres after Särdals kvarn, turn left onto Lundslättsvägen. After a few hundred metres you will reach a four-way junction where you continue straight ahead on the gravel road. When the forest opens up and the sea is visible, there is a parking lot on the right. Press P on the map for directions. Go past the old lifeguard station and out to the boathouses on the headland. The boathouses provide good shelter from most wind directions.
Please note: Be considerate of the owners of the boathouses. Toilets (outdoor toilets) are located at the lifeguard station.
