Description
Lunds Reningsverksdammar are a series of sewege ponds. A walk around the dams offers a good view of the ducks and other water birds there like Greater Scaup, Tufted Duck, Smew, Common Teal, Northern Shoveler, Goosander and Little Grebe. Along the sides of the dams Grey Wagtail, Eurasian Moorhen and Common Kingfisher sometimes can be seen. Some years Ferruginous Duck has been seen but also hybrids between Ferruginous Duck and Tufted Duck. South of the ponds is the stream Höje å running, which is worth a closer inspection especially in migration times when passerines rest there.
