Tårnbukta and Saltstein
The site is on the seaward side of the island. Tårnbukta (the Tower Bay) is a small bay just south of the rocks of Saltstein (Salt Stone). In Tårnbukta there are usually lots of kelp washed ashore, sometimes attracting good numbers of birds. The bay itself can be exciting especially by strong southern winds, drivind waterfowl and gulls towards land. Several national rarities have been spotted here, mostly in autumn. Examples are Isabelline Wheatear Oenanthe isabellinus, Water Pipit Anthus spinoletta and Stonechat Saxicola torquata.
Saltstein is one of just a few places with exposed bedrock on the island. The low scrub can attract unusual passerines.
The site is found by following the main road on the island, turning through a gate towards the sea at the farm Hovedgården. The small road passes through a small grazed area rich in scrub, and also a small pond. This area can sometimes host unusual passerines.
Recommended seasons: autumn, winter and spring
Typical species: waterfowl, passerines.
Recommended watchpoints: the "kelp place" by Tårnbukta (by the end of the small road leading down from Hovedgården); the rocks at Saltstein
