Beschrijving
Ljungen is a classic birdingplace at the Falsterbo peninsula for taking part of the sometimes magnificent migration of raptors in the autumn. On a good day the sky is full of birds passing over the vast field called Ljungen.
The area is a long and wide steppe that lays between Ljunghusen and Skanör, its very open which grants a good view on the from E incoming raptors. Ljungen got an observationtower at the corner of the forrest, but its seldom used to watch the migration.
In just about 2 months (mid august to mid october) thousands of buzzards, hawks and harriers pass by. Among those every year there are some gems like rare eagles, falcons and harriers, such as Bastaardarend, Schreeuwarend , Keizerarend, Steppearend, Slangenarend, Grauwe Kiekendief, Steppekiekendief and Roodpootvalk .
The numbers from the autumn 2019 were; Sperwer 28900, Buizerd 8700 ( the record is 16665 in one day), Wespendief 4000, Bruine Kiekendief 780, Blauwe Kiekendief 340, Steppekiekendief 4o, Grauwe Kiekendief 6, Visarend 390, Smelleken 250 and Ooievaar 106.
Were to stand is worth giving a second thought due to that were and how the birds passes the peninsula depends on the weather and the wind. If standing right the birds will pass over the head. A day with wind from SW the birds will pass over the south western part of Ljungen at the parking. On the other hand a day with SE will push the migration corridor to the north, then the best place to stand is at Haga roundabout or even further north next to the old train embankment. The drawback with the latter is that most birders stand at south west Ljungen nomatter the wind, and there is many pair of eyes to spot the rarieties. For more details about wind direction and the migration see the attached file below.
