Beskrivning
Small island in the River Ore famous for its skärfläcka and skedstork. In autumn and winter, the island provides a haven for large numbers of ducks and wading birds. Atmospheric and remote. Tornuggla nest in the derelict military buildings. You can also encounter brun kärrhök. Also hares, chinese water deer and migrant waders. There are 8 hides on Havergate, the first breeding site in the RSPB skärfläcka recovery programme. Note: Access via boat on pre-booked trips only.
