Description

Tarup-Davinde is a large area of gravel excavation. As the ongoing mining is done, the lakes and the surrounding landscape are transformed into scenic natural areas. In addition to the many lakes, the area consists of grazed meadows, small forests, moist scrub and dry pastures. An extraordinary place with very varied terrain, and lots of exploring to do. And also plenty of birds. Among the birds you can encounter are Common Goldeneye, Northern Shoveler, Common Teal, Smew, Goosander, Little Grebe, Osprey, Wood Sandpiper, Ruff, Common Snipe, Common Tern, Western Marsh Harrier, Common Kingfisher and Common Greenshank.
