Nevertheless during migration periodes the wetland area attracts alot of wader birds like Lille Præstekrave , Hvidklire , Tinksmed , Stor Kobbersneppe , Brushane , Klyde , Temmincksryle , Skestork. It is one of the best places in the region to see Atlingand and other duck species like Spidsand or Taffeland. There is an artificial hill which is ideal for migration counts and an overview of the best birding spot in this nature park. In the grasslands adjacent to this hill you can spot birds like Bynkefugl , Vestlig Sortstrubet Bynkefugl , Kirkeugle , Stenpikker , Græshoppesanger , Stillits.
