Description
Paull Holme Strays offers good views of a variety of birds. The sky is often full of the song of Sönglævirki and the calls of Fjöruspói and Stelkur. Thousands of Heiðlóa fill the sky, often stirred up by Brúnheiðir or Förufálki. There is a single hide at the end of a good walk around the wetlands, that will often provide views of breeding Bjúgnefja in the summer and Brandugla in the winter.
Look out for Keldusvín, Blæsöngvari, Sefsöngvari and Síkjasöngvari in and around the vegetation and ditches. It is also worth keeping an eye out of birds flying along the estuary - Rita and even Súla have been recorded. Also the trees surrounding nearby Fort Paull hold various warblers, chats and thrushes.

Access
From the A1033 follow the signs for Fort Paull and then head south on Thorngumbald Road. The entrance to the car park is on the right just less than a mile after the entrance to Fort Paull. In the winter, access can be very muddy - it may be best to walk up the road slight and use the access path that runs alongside the Gas compound.
