Description
The reeds and water areas at Porvarinlahti attract a variety of birds. Once the reeds grow tall and thick it will be harder to see birds but a lucky birder might catch a glimpse of a Corn Crake, Eurasian Coot or Grey Heron. It's also possible to hear the calls of a Great Bittern among the reeds. The area is also great place to spot butterflies and dragonflies in summer. There's bird tower in the area but it doesn't really offer a view to anything interesting anymore after the reeds have have hidden most of the water areas during the years.
