Beskrivning
The main accessible area of the nature reserve is a wet woodland with tree species such as alder and birch. There is an unmarked footpath that does a short loop around the area, although it is uneven and can be wet at times. Typical birds for this habitat are present, flocks of tits blåmes, talgoxe, stjärtmes and kungsfågel are common as are ringduva and thrushes. större hackspett and trädkrypare are usually heard or seen, as well as other common birds such as gärdsmyg.
A public footpath can be taken to make a longer loop, from which neighbouring pasture/farmland can be surveyed. In the winter a flock of björktrast and rödvingetrast is likely. järnsparv and steglits are common. ängspiplärka is possible.
Taking the public footpath to the east also gives a view of a small flooded pond area in the field. It often hosts various waterfowl such as gräsand, vigg, kanadagås and grågås and in the winter bläsand and skrattmås. If you wanted to check for rings a long lens or telescope would be useful.
The Cranberry Bog and Black Mere part of the reserve is off-limits to casual visitors due to safety concerns, however Storskarv can often be seen perched in the trees that surround that area, but it likely attracts various other birds to the general area anyway.
