Still an active gravel quarry but visiting is possible during the weekend or after 5/6pm during spring/summer evening.
During migration and winter the water bodies can host lots of ducks if they have not been flushed by fishermen or hunters, among which several dozens of Taffeland and Toppand and several hundreds of Sothøne . A rarity such as the Sjøorre or Bergand is always possible in winter. Still in winter but above all during October-November and March the wet grassland is a very good spot for Enkeltbekkasin and Kvartbekkasin.
In summer typical breeders include Makrellterne and Toppdykker on the lake, Tornskate in the bushes or Heipiplerke in the grassland.
In late summer and early autumn when water level drops the south-western water body can be very good for waders particularly Grønnstilk or for a Svartstork stopover. In spring when water level is higher, Svartterne , Hvitkinnsvartterne or Dvergmåke are regularly seen foraging over water.
You can park in the village or near the fence indicating the quarry entry. The area is best explored by walking.
During autumn and winter weekends, it's better to explore the area on Saturday because hunters are regular on Sunday.
