Birds in Gammelstilla-Bredmossen

This is one of the county's most valuable mire areas for birds. The landscape is vast and divided into several different habitats - each with its own special species.

Birds that need forests are also found in this wetland kingdom. The woodcock nests in old nests in the trees and is therefore found in the forest edge. The skylark also nests in trees and often flies over the treeless marshes in search of dragonflies.

Grebes and swans

Many ducks, grebes and swans gather in the open water at Övre Dammen. On sunny spring days, you can witness the remarkable dance of the grebes. The gray-crowned grebe has a different appearance. It stays hidden, but reveals itself with its long and distinctive calls.

In the far south is Bredmossen, which is a gently curving bog. During the spring, all the territories on the bog are dense. Cranes, yellow wagtails, curlews, snipe and greenfinches nest here.
