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 Crni turpan, grebes and skuas. At the end of April, terns and Riđogrli morski gnjurac start migrating with occasional Žutokljuni morski gnjurac and Vitorepi pomornik being present. In May, Arctic waders such as Crnotrba sprutka, Laponska muljača, Srebrni vivak and Velika sprutka 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 Crnotrba sprutka, Riđa sprutka, Mala sprutka, Seda sprutka and sometimes some Pljosnokljuna sprutka. With fresh winds from the west, you can have a nice migration of seabirds, including auks, Troprsti galeb, Obična bluna, Burnjak, 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 Snežna strnadica. Morska sprutka and Morski vranac are occasionally seen on the reef. In mild winters, Barska šljuka, Mala šljuka and Šumska šljuka can also overwinter.
Rare birds that have been observed include Guska crvenovoljka, Štelerova gavka, Američki crni turpan, Lisasti turpan, Veliki morski gnjurac, Golemi zovoj, Burnica, Mala bela čaplja, Velika bela čaplja, Američki zlatni vivak, Crnogruda sprutka, Siva liskonoga, Severni galeb, Morski galeb, Sinji galeb, Lastorepi galeb, Ružičasti galeb, Debelokljuna čigra, Belokrila čigra, Debelokljuna njorka (several finds), Grlica, Buljina, Crnoglava travarka, Iberijski zviždak, Vatroglavi kraljić, Žutarica, etc.
Breeding birds include Crvenonogi sprudnik, Mali detlić, Zelena žuna and Obični 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.
