Descrição
Baksjön nature reserve is a lake is surrounded by coniferous and deciduous forest, while the agricultural landscape with fields and pastures opens up to the north and south. The open agricultural lands are of importance for the area as a bird sanctuary. Cattle keep the pasture open, which gives a more species-rich flora which in turn gives a more species-rich insect and bird fauna. Bird life includes nesting Abibe-comum, Narceja-comum, Petinha-dos-prados, Cisne-bravo and Pato-olho-d'ouro. Águia-pesqueira, falcão-peregrino, peneireiro-de-dorso-malhado / peneireiro, coruja-da-igreja / coruja-das-torres and Noitibó da Europa have been seen foraging in the reserve.
