Opis

The larger fens attract migrating waders and waterfowl, krwawodziób, kwokacz and biegus zmienny to name a few. Several pairs of lelek breed on the moors, krętogłów and białorzytka pass by on their migration. In the forest areas dzięcioł czarny and dzięcioł średni can be seen together with the more common woodpeckers. A few pairs of muchołówka żałobna still breed here. Birds of prey such as sokół wędrowny, kobuz, jastrząb and Trzmielojad breed in or around the area. Recently a pair of kruk was added to the list of birds breeding in the area.
During the autumn migration the migration counting station is manned almost daily throughout September and October and vistors are always welcome to admire the spectacle of thousands of finches, pipits, trushes and, on good days, tens to sometimes a few hundred myszołów passing on their way south. Even rarities such as bielik and orlik grubodzioby have passed over the counting station in recent years.
During autumn and winter jer and krzyżodziób świerkowy are quite common guests. srokosz passes by but is not a regular guest.
