Description

Lovely to bird in spring. Nice rivervally with lots of birds such as Blåhals, Rørspurv, Sivsanger, Kærsanger, Rørsanger, Atlingand, Gøg, Græshoppesanger, Tornsanger, Vestlig Sortstrubet Bynkefugl. During the migration periods you have chances to see waders (Stor Kobbersneppe, Brushane, Storspove, Rødben, Lille Præstekrave), lots of Landsvale, Stenpikker, Bynkefugl. And if you are lucky you might see or hear Plettet Rørvagtel and Purpurhejre. Also a nice area for plants, dragonflies and other insects. Also chances to see beaver.

Soms overstroomt het gebied in de lente en in de winter. Heerlijk gebied om in het voorjaar te vogelen. Mooie riviervallei met veel vogels zoals Blåhals, Rørspurv, Sivsanger, Kærsanger, Rørsanger, Atlingand, Gøg, Græshoppesanger, Tornsanger, Vestlig Sortstrubet Bynkefugl. Tijdens de trekperiode heb je kans om steltlopers te zien (Stor Kobbersneppe, Brushane, Storspove, Rødben, Lille Præstekrave), veel Landsvale , Stenpikker, Bynkefugl. En als je geluk hebt, kun je Plettet Rørvagtel en Purpurhejre zien of horen. Ook een mooi gebied voor planten, libellen en andere insecten. Ook kansen om bever te zien.
