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 Eider migration (with occasional Eider cu cap cenușiu each spring) around March 20. It continues with Rață neagră , grebes and skuas. At the end of April, terns and Cufundar mic start migrating with occasional Cufundar cu cioc alb and Lup de mare being present. In May, Arctic waders such as Fugaci de țărm, Sitar de mal nordic, Ploier argintiu and Fugaci mare 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 Fugaci de țărm, Fugaci roșcat, Fugaci mic, Fugaci pitic and sometimes some Prundăraș de nămol. With fresh winds from the west, you can have a nice migration of seabirds, including auks, Pescăruș cu trei degete, Corb de mare, Fulmar, skuas, Pescăruș mic 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 Pescăruș cu trei degete. Fâsă de munte is now seen annually on the beach meadows, as are other pipits and Pasărea omătului. Fugaci de mare and Cormoran moțat are occasionally seen on the reef. In mild winters, Becațină comună, Becațină mică and Sitar de pădure can also overwinter.
Rare birds that have been observed include Gâscă cu gât roșu, Eiderul lui Steller, Rață neagră americană, Rață neagră cu ochelari, Cufundar mare, Cory's Shearwater, Furtunar comun, Egretă mică, Egretă mare, Ploier auriu american, Fugaci pătat, Notatiță cu cioc lat, Pescăruș de ghețuri, Pescăruș cu picioare galbene, Pescăruș pontic, Pescăruș cu coadă scobită, Pescăruș roz, Pescăriță râzătoare, Chirighiță cu aripi albe, Alcă polară (several finds), Turturică, Buhă, Mărăcinar negru, Pitulice iberică, Aușel sprâncenat, Cănăraș, etc.
Breeding birds include Fluierar cu picioare roșii, Ciocănitoare pestriță mică, Ghionoaie verde and Pitulice mică.
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.
Details
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.
