Description

Säbysjön is a lake of about 2.5 km long and about 400 meters wide. The lake's largest depth is about 2 meters.. A good area for watching migratory birds. The reed has been opened up so that birds can breed in the reed islands, without a chance for predators coming to visit. In the reed islands, a large and noisy езерски галеб colony breeds in the spring. From the large bird tower on the southeastern shore of the lake you have nice views of the southern parts of the lake. There is also a smaller bird tower nearby overlooking the wet meadows. Most birds in the lake can be seen in April to May and in September. In the spring there are both migratory and nesting birds. Among the birds you can encounter here are жолтоклун лебед, четириока патка, патка свиркач, црвеноглав кожувар, сив жерав, калуѓерка, обична бекасина, белец, орел рибар, мал трскар, Мочварна овесарка and жолтогрла стрнарка.
