There are various waders such as kuovi and taivaanvuohi as well as ducks like Lapasorsa, tavi, heinätavi and tukkasotka. Also many metsäkirvinen, niittykirvinen and mustapäätasku. ruskosuohaukka and isolepinkäinen can be found too. The moorland area is good for Kurki which are now breeding here again.
