Protected area made up of several ponds surrounded by coniferous forests. The area holds nesting colonies of herons and Storskarv.
Loudon is particularly interesting for its heronry where Gråhegre, Kuhegre and Storskarv nest. There are other nesting birds such as Dvergdykker, Toppdykker, Hettemåke, Lerkefalk, Sothøne, Knoppsvane and many others. In winter, you can see Taffeland, Toppand, Skjeand and other duck species, as well as passerines such as the Grønnsisik. The Skogsnipe, Enkeltbekkasin and Isfugl are present all year round. The forest is home to Nattravn and Svartspett.
