Beskrivning
The area is of great importance for breeding birds of semi-natural grasslands and wetlands. Around 80 species of breeding birds are recorded annually, including storspov, tofsvipa, vit stork , Smådopping, vattenrall, vaktel, årta, Kricka, Skedand, snatterand, lärkfalk, gök, blåhake, svarthakad buskskvätta, rörsångare (rarely sävsångare and trastsångare) and törnskata. Large flocks of bläsgås use the area during winter, and also a small group of fjällgås from a rewilding project in Sweden has established a "tradition" to visit the area for wintering, starting in 2017. In late winter, the area serves as roosting place for hundreds of Trana and during spring migration, a great variety of ducks and waders can be encountered. Occasionally, rarities show up (e.g. purpurhäger, vitögd dykand, mindre sumphöna).
