Falsterbo lighthouse

The lighthouse (Fyren) is an alternative to Nabben, especially on windy days. You will miss some of the migration over the sea but have the advantage of a closer view of passerine migration as these birds often pass at a lower altitude here. In addition, there is less noise from the wind and waves, which makes it easier to hear and distinguish bird calls. There is also a better chance of seeing irruptive species such as woodpeckers, tits, Nutcracker and Jay, in larger numbers at Fyren because they tend to turn back before reaching Nabben. Some rest in the lighthouse garden together with many other species, especially nocturnal passerine migrants.

At Fyren, it is often possible to find shelter from the wind. However, the eastern side is not recommended owing to the risk of being hit by stray golf balls!

Don’ t walk up to mist-nets, that are set at the Lighthouse Garden, whether there are birds in them or not. The nets are checked every 30 minutes by Bird Observatory staff.

The Lighthouse garden and Kålhagen are private properties. Do not enter.
