Description
The lake of Boren hosts a large variety of waterfowl. Dabbling ducks are often plentyful in the lake (sometimes numbering in the hundreds) during spring and some of whom stay to breed. During autumn and winter the lake is often dominated by geese (most common are husa velká, berneška velká, and husa polní. But often also: husta tundrová, husa krátkozobá and husa běločelá), and mergansers (mainly morčák malý and morčák velký). Among them it is not uncommon to find a few marine ducks (mainly hoholka lední, polák kaholka and turpan černý). In the lake kopřivka obecná, potápka roháč, kormorán velký, polák chocholačka, labuť velká and many more often nest.
The reedbeds in the southern part of the lake are often used by rákosník velký, bukač velký, rákosník proužkovaný, and moták pochop. In the north lelek lesní and sluka lesní can often be heard during the night. There are large amounts of deciduous forest around Sjöboknäppan which attract Ořešník kropenatý, lejsek malý, hýl rudý and budníček menší and many more.
A migration route passes through the lake during the spring migration in May with migrating tern, waders, and gulls sometimes seen in larger numbers. Among these racek malý and rybák černý are sometimes found. The lake holds often lyska černá, Chřástal vodní, morčák malý, potápka malá and labuť zpěvná during the winter. If the lake is ice-free during this period large amounts of ducks, and geese also winter on the lake. In and around the lake 204 bird species have been recorded.
