Rate birdingplace Lunds Reningsverksdammar
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 Hegyi réce, Kontyos réce, Kis bukó, Csörgo réce, Kanalas réce, Nagy bukó and Kis vöcsök. Along the sides of the dams hegyi billegető, Vízityúk and Jégmadár sometimes can be seen. Some years Cigányréce has been seen but also hybrids between Cigányréce and Kontyos réce. South of the ponds is the stream Höje å running, which is worth a closer inspection especially in migration times when passerines rest there.
