Description
Draved Forest is one of the best developed natural forests, where the untouched parts are reminiscent of primeval forest. This is partly due to the fact that it has been well sheltered by the surrounding, hard-to-reach bogs, like Kongens Mose. The area has lots of old, dead and decaying trees that offer an abundance of food and nesting sites. 198 species of birds have been registered, 113 of them as breeding. Among the birds you can encounter are Cuckoo, Snipe, Woodcock, Eagle Owl, Tawny Owl, Bluethroat, Red-backed Shrike, Great Grey Shrike, Eurasian Hobby, Black Woodpecker, Lesser Spotted Woodpecker and Eurasian Green Woodpecker.
