Description
In spring, water level can be high especially if the river Marne has overflowed during winter. Typical species at this time of year then include Taumönd and Grafönd which can easily hide into the dense vegetation. Several pairs of Hagaskvetta and Seftittlingur breed in the marsh and later in season it's also the case for Seljusöngvari. Even if water level is generally to high for waders on the main water body at this time of year, the adjacent flooded agricultural fields can host good numbers of them including some very rare in the Paris region such as the Bakkatíta.
In August-October water levels drop and waders, for example Flóastelkur, are then visible on the main water body. In August-September a migrant Gjóður is often perched on one of the electric pylons.
