Beskrivning
The history of the Alter Flugplatz and its unique habitat make it an interesting place to go birding. The look and feel of the place is quite unusual: a long, open expanse of dry heath and sand grassland with an urban backdrop. The most obvious birds here are members of the Corvid family: the otherwise dominant svartkråka is trumped here by good numbers of råka, kaja and Skata. There is usually a hovering tornfalk or soaring ormvråk to be found, too.
In spring and early summer the scattered bushes and trees of the site are a good place to hear and see rödstjärt, törnsångare, ärtsångare and lövsångare. With a bit of luck, törnskata can also be seen. During spring migration, the site is well worth a visit. it is possible to see groups of gulärla (especially in the northern part), as well as the odd buskskvätta, svarthakad buskskvätta, ringtrast or stenskvätta. With luck and patience, fältpiplärka can also be seen here. They are rare but regular stopover visitors at this site.

NejExtra information
The northern part of the area is completely fenced off and therefore offers birds the minimum level of disturbance. A small herd of donkeys graze here. This part of the site is the best place to search for gulärla, stenskvätta, buskskvätta and fältpiplärka.
