Description

Brannäs Våtmark is an area that contains several different ponds with varying amounts of vegetation enclosed by varying forest biotopes. In winter, there are still quite a few birds to see in the parts that don't freeze over. Becațină comună, Ochiuboului, Măcăleandru and Cârstel de baltă are virtually there all year round. In the forest areas there are Ciocănitoare pestriță mică and Ciuvică and the other common woodpecker species. In the spring, birds that nest in the ponds arrive: Rață mare, Lebădă de vară, Rață mică, Rață pestriță and Cârstel de baltă and in the reeds Lăcar de stuf, Presură de stuf and Lăcar mic. During the autumn, flocks of ducks rest in the area.

Observations of the following rarities have been made over the years: Vânturel de seară, Codobatură de munte, Muscar gulerat, Boicuș, Turturică americană, Grelușel de stuf and Egretă mare.
