Description
Husebymaden is a 130 hectare reserve and wetland. In order to expand the arable land, the area was emptied of water during the 1870s. In the 1930s, they stopped using the area as farmland. Since the restoration of Husebymaden, many bird species have started to breed here and during migration many birds make a stop here. Among the birds you can encounter are geese, ducks, waders, herons, Common Crane, White-tailed Eagle, Western Marsh Harrier, Red Kite, Peregrine Falcon, Eurasian Hobby, Eurasian Kestrel, Sparrowhawk and Eurasian Goshawk.
