Description

Mülimatt Obstgarten is not a very large area, but very rich in species. Sometimes there are up to two Vendehals singing here. It also has several Rødstjert breeding pairs and two Svartstrupe pairs. In addition, Hekkspurv, Tornsanger and Buskskvett can be observed regularly. The migration of birds of prey is quite strong in both spring and autumn, and Vepsevåk and Svartstork sometimes pass through here. Pirol can be heard singing in the nearby forest.
