Description
Kiesgrube Kleinpösna offers a few artificial lakes as well as agricultural fields. Here, you can find bird species such as Grågås, Tundragås, Vipe, Niland, Toppand, Taffeland, Gransanger, Linerle, Stillits, Bokfink, Musvåk, Glente , Spurvehauk and many more.
NOTE: This whole area is still an active gravel quarry, and there's a highway nearby. So it isn't the most idyllic and quiet birding spot. Also, the Northeastern lake is heavily used by fishermen.
Perhaps this area might need a few more years to develop into a really nice birding spot!
