Description
The Tygelsjöängar area stretches from the village of Klagshamn south towards Gessie. Mainly meadows and wetland, with some reedbeds and interesting ponds. Important; The meadows in the north down to the trail out to the mouth of Tygelsjöbäckens is restricted area from from the 1st of April until 15th of July ( the small sand island Dynan from 1st of March until 30th of November). See the map further down for details.
The main attraction of the area is the mouth of Tygelsjö stream from where you get a good view of the small sand island Dynan and the surrounding beaches. During spring and autumn migration it is a good spot for watching shorebirds as Fluierar negru, Sitar de mal nordic, various Calidris and Tringa. In summer Ciocîntors, Chiră mică and Călifar alb are breeding on the island and in the area. In the general area the few swedish remains of the southern Fugaci de țărmreside its last pairs. The area just south of the mouth of Tygelsjöbäcken is good for Becațină mică especially in the autumn, but also where more rare birds as Becațină mare, Fâsă roșiatică and Fâsa lui Richard have been seen.
A lot of times there are horses at the meadows, they are quite peaceful but very courious, especially when it comes to tripods for the scope. Therefore, keep the tripod folded when walking past them and unfold it when you are at the sceen.
A bit further south three ponds are located, from north to south; Findus sunkdam, Malmö dam, Gessie dam. When not dried out these attract ducks and waders but sometimes more rare birds such as Egretă mare and Notatiță.
Even further south is Blombackadammen, a shallow dam that gathers a good variety of ducks fex. Rață sulițar , Rață lingurar and Rață cârâitoare . The site is also good for waders during migration time Bătăuș and Tringa waders. As said, it is shallow and from mid june it use to be dried out, as goes for all of the ponds in the area ( with an exeption of Verkstadsdammen further south.)
In the winter quite some numbers of Lebădă de iarnă gather in the bay south of Klagshamn, and the general area is good for late migrants and wintherbirds such as Inăriță cu cioc galben, Pasărea omătului, Șorecar încălțat and Erete vânăt. In the winter it is also worth following the Gessie stream out to its mouth, there Pescăraș albastru , Corcodel mic , Buhai de baltă and Pițigoi de stuf occasionally can be seen.

Access
The meadows in the north are good for a walk along them down to the mouth of the stream. Further south there are enclosed fields and ditches so that part has to be travelled on the road and then do detours to the ponds.
Citybus nr 6 goes the whole way to Klagshamn village, walk south from there.
