During the migratory passages, you can also see other wintering birds such as Blåhals, Bjergpiber or Rørspurv. Other birds you can spot in the area are Sydlig Stor Tornskade, Tigerfinke, Helena-astrild and Hærfugl. Also many wintering birds of prey (sometimes in high densities) like Rørhøg, Blå Kærhøg, Rød Glente, Blå Glente, Dværgfalk and Mosehornugle. Best times for a visit are winter and spring, from November to May. From June to October it can be very quiet on the fields.
