Description

The previously overgrown area Långsjön - Ålbäck has been restored so that in the spring there are large open water areas which in the summer become more and more grassland except for the dug canals. Långsjön has also been restored to function as a playground for fish that migrate up in spring. When the large reed belt was reduced, the bird fauna has changed so that several species of ducks are found in the area. For example Tőkés réce, Csörgo réce, Kendermagos réce, Kanalas réce and Kontyos réce. And birds such as Szárcsa, Kis vöcsök, Füles vöcsök and Énekes hattyú. Breeding waders in the area are Bíbic, Sárszalonka and Kis lile. Resting waders include Réti cankó, Szürke cankó and Pajzsoscankó.
