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 rjavka, čopasta črnica, mali žagar, kreheljc, žličarica, veliki žagar and mali ponirek. Along the sides of the dams siva pastirica, zelenonoga tukalica and vodomec sometimes can be seen. Some years kostanjevka has been seen but also hybrids between kostanjevka and čopasta črnica. South of the ponds is the stream Höje å running, which is worth a closer inspection especially in migration times when passerines rest there.
