Beskrivning
The Salmenwiesen meadows are easily accessible and offer a good mix of birds all year round, especially at times when there is water on the meadows and in the ditches. When the meadows are flooded, a good number of birds use the meadows as a place to feed and rest. grågås, kanadagås, gråhäger, rörhöna, gräsand and svartkråka are nearly always present. At times they are joined by vit stork, rostand and Kricka.
During spring migration it is possible to see pairs or small groups of svarthakad buskskvätta and gulärla. If you are lucky, you may see enkelbeckasin , gräshoppsångare or even a rarity such as a Kohäger! During spring and summer there is a good chance of observing törnsångare, törnskata and ladusvala. Birds of prey can also frequently be observed soaring over the meadows.
In winter, ängspiplärka and sädesärla are usually present and can be heard and seen foraging on the meadows and in the reeds.
