Descrizione
In the large open area of the Vehnemoor typical marsh breeders such as Pispola, Pettazzurro, Migliarino di palude, Gru, Beccaccino, Chiurlo maggiore, Pettegola and Corriere piccolo are common in spring and summer. There is also a small colony of Gabbiano comune and single pairs Gavina. The forested area in the central part is a breeding place for Succiacapre, Luì grosso and Prispolone.
On spring migration parts that just have been recently renaturalised are also good spots for Waders. Most numerous species are Pantana, Piro piro culbianco, Piro piro boschereccio, Corriere grosso and Gambecchio nano. From late April to August (best time is first decade of May) other Wader species such as Piovanello pancianera, Piovanello tridattilo, Voltapietre, Piovanello comune and Gambecchio comune could be watched here.
In winter the area is used as a roosting site for huge numbers of Greater White-Fronted Geese & Bean Geese, Common Cranes and swans.

Accesso
There are four ways to access the moor (see map). One road through the area could be used by car, others are forbidden to use and blocked with barriers. But those can be explored on foot.
