Description
Brannäs Våtmark is an area that contains several different ponds with varying amounts of vegetation enclosed by varying forest biotopes. In winter, there are still quite a few birds to see in the parts that don't freeze over. (Κοινό) Μπεκατσίνι, Τρυποφράχτης, Κοκκινολαίμης and (Ευρωπαϊκή) Νεροκοτσέλα are virtually there all year round. In the forest areas there are Νανοδρυοκολάπτης and Σπουργιτόγλαυκα and the other common woodpecker species. In the spring, birds that nest in the ponds arrive: Πρασινοκέφαλη Πάπια, (Βουβός) Κύκνος, (Ευρωπαϊκό) Κιρκίρι, Καπακλής and (Ευρωπαϊκή) Νεροκοτσέλα and in the reeds Καλαμοποταμίδα, (Μεγάλο) Καλαμοτσίχλονο and Σχοινοποταμίδα. During the autumn, flocks of ducks rest in the area.
Observations of the following rarities have been made over the years: (Ευρωπαϊκό) Μαυροκιρκίνεζο, Σταχτοσουσουράδα, Κρικομυγοχάφτης, Υφάντρα, Mourning Dove, Καλαμοτριλιστής and Αργυροτσικνιάς.
