Descripción

Vejlen was previously a fjord connected to the sea, but in 1765 a dyke and sluice were built, cutting off the fjord. Vejlen was drained to create pastureland. In 1905, the sea broke through the dyke. Even though the dyke was reconstructed, Vejlen never became completely drained again. A very shallow lake was formed, that is now brackish and very rich in nutrients, due to pollution from the surrounding farmland. Different waterbirds breed in Vejlen, including Zampullín Común, Somormujo Cuellirrojo, Avoceta Común and Archibebe Común. Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental breed here just about every year. Bigotudo nest here, and Martín Pescador Común can be seen throughout the year. In summer Carricero Común, Zarcero Icterino, Curruca Zarcera and Escribano Palustre can be heard singing in the scrub. During migration the lake and the shallow waters off the coast hold many species of wader. Chorlito Dorado Europeo can be seen both spring and autumn in flocks of up to several thousand birds standing on the fields in the vicinity. Other waders include Avefría Europea and Zarapito Real in quite large numbers, and smaller numbers of Ostrero Euroasiático, Correlimos Común, Combatiente, Agachadiza común, Archibebe Oscuro and Archibebe Claro. In winter several hundred Cisne Cantor and a few Cisne Chico turn up.
