The bay is known for its rare vagrants and species such as swistun amerykanski, głowienka and czerniczka have been seen here.
The bay is also a good spot for observing gulls and skuas, like mewa siodłata, wydrzyk wielki and wydrzyk ostrosterny.
The best way to observe the bay is from Sigurgeir's Bird Museum, located just east of the bay. It gives the best views over the lake. The museum is surrounded by low vegetated fields and a great place to observe species like białorzytka and świergotek łąkowy. Also uszatka błotna can be found here and białozór can be seen hunting.
