Opis

The woodlands include conifer plantations, mature deciduous woodland, marshy woodland and there are also meadows and ridings. This variety of environment is being enriched by thinning out existing woods and reducing the amount of conifers. A wide variety are birds are attracted to the area, including sikora uboga, sosnówka, kszyk, mazurek and pliszka żółta. The large water area attracts various Hirundines and Terns in summer, but winter migrants are notable, including up to 10,000 wildfowl (which contributes to the site's status as a Site of Special Scientific Interest).
