The Blarewater is a small forest and scrubland area where you can find species such as Fuglekonge, Rødtoppfuglekonge and all the species of tits. On the water you can find Toppand, Snadderand, Sothøne, Stokkand and Skjeand in small numbers in winter. The dead wood provides Flaggspett that you can see up close.
