Lake Marsjön and the surrounding wetland and wet meadows attract many birds. From a bird observation tower you can overlook the area.
Marsjön consists of one of several shallow lakes in Viskan's upper valley. The meadows are often flooded in early spring. The meadows are grazed and hold high natural values. Bird life is dominated by resting ducks, and waders, mainly in spring but also in late summer and autumn. As well as interesting nesting species such as Δασότρυγγας, Λασπότρυγγας, (Κοινό) Μπεκατσίνι, Κιτρινοσουσουράδα, Μαυρολαίμης, (Μεγάλο) Καλαμοτσίχλονο, Σχοινοποταμίδα and Καλαμοποταμίδα. Among the birds of prey that are seen regularly are Ψαραετός, Ψαλιδιάρης, Καλαμόκιρκος, Βραχοκιρκίνεζο, (Ευρωπαϊκός) Θαλασσαετός and Πετρίτης.
