Description

The area comprising the two bogs Smørmosen and Fedtmosen and the adjacent meadows covers around 150 hectare with bogs, small lakes, open woodland, scrub, reedbeds and meadows. The fields around Kildegården are used for organic farming and are grazed by cattle. The stream of Tibberup Å flows through the area. There is a varied flora and fauna in the area. Around 200 different bird species have been registered, around 50 of them breeding here each year. Including Grèbe jougris, Grèbe castagneux, several species of duck, Râle d'eau and – not least – many warblers, Épervier d'Europe and Busard des roseaux. Other breeding birds include Vanneau huppé, Coucou gris, Alouette des champs, woodpeckers, tits and finches. At one time, the area housed a large colony of Grive litorne – probably the second largest in Denmark – but this has declined in the last few years and there are now only a few pairs left. Chouette hulotte, Rémiz penduline, Gobemouche gris and Gobemouche noir breed here sporadically.

Spring and autumn bring a considerable number of migrating birds that fly over the area or settle here for a short while. Quite a number of raptors, such as Bondrée apivore and Épervier d'Europe, are seen every year, together with lesser numbers of Milan royal, Autour des palombes, Buse pattue, Balbuzard pêcheur, Busard Saint-Martin, Faucon hobereau and Faucon émerillon. Even rare birds such as Aigle royal, Aigle pomarin and Pygargue à queue blanche have been observed very occasionally over the area. Grue cendrée fly overhead on migration every year, usually in the springtime. If the wind is blowing from the east, the flocks can be very large. Many different species of passerines can be seen on migration. The migration can best be seen from Klausdal (in the south-eastern part of the area) or around Kildegården. There are always a good number of passerines that stop over in the bogs. In some years, overwintering Butor étoilé can be spotted. Occasionally there are invasions of Grive litorne, Grive mauvis and Jaseur boréal and of many passerines, including colourful finches. On the edge of the north-west corner of Fedtmose is a site where Hibou moyen-duc overwinter.
