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 Morska crnka, Ćubasta patka, Mali ronac, Krdža, Plovka kašikara, Veliki ronac and Mali gnjurac. Along the sides of the dams Potočna pliska, Barska kokica and Vodomar sometimes can be seen. Some years Patka njorka has been seen but also hybrids between Patka njorka and Ćubasta patka. South of the ponds is the stream Höje å running, which is worth a closer inspection especially in migration times when passerines rest there.
