Rate birdingplace Lunds Reningsverksdammar
Description
Lunds Reningsverksdammar are a series of sewege ponds. A walk around the dams offers a good view of the ducks and other water birds there like Морская чернеть, Хохлатая чернеть, Луток, Чирок-свистунок, Широконоска, Большой крохаль and Малая поганка. Along the sides of the dams Горная трясогузка, Камышница and Обыкновенный зимородок sometimes can be seen. Some years Белоглазый нырок has been seen but also hybrids between Белоглазый нырок and Хохлатая чернеть. South of the ponds is the stream Höje å running, which is worth a closer inspection especially in migration times when passerines rest there.
