Beskrivning
Borreby Mose is a large area with bog and reedbeds. Around the bog are extensive meadows used for grazing. Despite attempts to drain and cultivate, today the site is protected under Natura 2000 and serves as a vital refuge for birds. The reedbeds host breeding rördrom, brun kärrhök, skäggmes, sävsångare, rörsångare and occasionally rarities like vassångare and trastsångare. The wet meadows, shallow pools and muddy edges attract many waders and meadow-birds like rödspov, brushane, tofsvipa, rödbena, strandskata, större strandpipare, and skärfläcka.
During migration thousands of geese roost in the area, joined by ducks like stjärtand, Skedand, Kricka and vigg. Winter brings salskrake, knipa, and blå kärrhök. A regular resident is havsörn. Less common birds that visit Borreby Mose include skräntärna and smalnäbbad simsnäppa. Every year rarities turn up in the area, especially during migration. For example tuvsnäppa and svart stork have been observed.

Tillgänglighet
Borreby Mose is located in south-west Sjælland, just south of the town of Skælskør. Access is straightforward: from Skælskør, head south toward Borreby/Fornetofte. Just past the turnoff to Borreby Gods, you’ll find a parking area with a trail leading through reedbeds to a dike overlooking Skælskør Fjord. This area attracts many birds, including cormorants, swans, ejder, småskrake and a chance on skäggmes.
Another parking spot 500 meters further along the road offers good views across the wetland. Press a P on the map for directions to a parking spot.
