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 Common Eider migration (with occasional King Eider each spring) around March 20. It continues with Common Scoter, grebes and skuas. At the end of April, terns and мал морски нуркач start migrating with occasional White-billed Diver and поморник being present. In May, Arctic waders such as обичен свиркач, Bar-tailed Godwit, сиво блатарче and Red Knot 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 обичен свиркач, белокрстен свиркач, мал свиркач, белоопашест свиркач and sometimes some блатен свиркач. With fresh winds from the west, you can have a nice migration of seabirds, including auks, тропрст галеб, Northern Gannet, Northern Fulmar, skuas, мал галеб and sometimes even Leach's Storm Petrel. 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 тропрст галеб. карпеста трепетилка is now seen annually on the beach meadows, as are other pipits and Snow Bunting. Purple Sandpiper and морски корморан are occasionally seen on the reef. In mild winters, обична бекасина, мала бекасина and шумска шљука can also overwinter.
Rare birds that have been observed include црвенограда гуска, Steller's Eider, Black Scoter, Surf Scoter, голем морски нуркач, Голем завој, Мала бурница, мала бела чапја, голема бела чапја, American Golden Plover, Pectoral Sandpiper, Red Phalarope, Glaucous Gull, жолтоног галеб, касписки галеб, Sabine's Gull, розев галеб, дебелоклуна рибарка, белокрила рибарка, Brünnich's Guillemot (several finds), грлица, був, планинско ливадарче, Iberian Chiffchaff, црвеноглаво кралче, жолтарче, etc.
Breeding birds include црвенонога тринга, мал клукајдрвец, зелен клукајдрвец and обичен свиркач.
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.
