Our projects

Savi's warbler

In 2012 a project started in which the Savi’s Warbler, a recently established species Kvismaren be studied this has been funded by the Elis Wides fund. The aim is to find out how many individuals are present and how many nests are in the reserve. The secondary aim is to acknowledge if the population is still held up by stray birds or if we have a small yet established population.

Wetland surveys

Over time, restored areas around the lake have been surveyed to decipher breeding wetland species. In 1981, Lake Rysjön was restored. From 1982, all breeding wetland birds have been monitored and production of young calculated. In recent years, the Bird Observatory has had closer co-operation with the provincial government. From 2009, we have done censuses on all wetland birds for the provincial government covering all parts of the wetland nature reserve.

Cranes and geese

På senare år har antalet häckande grågäss samt rastande sädgäss och tranor ökat kraftigt i Kvismaren. Den första arten som nådde stora antal var de rastande sädgässen i början av 1980-talet. De sädgäss som rastar i Kvismaren är huvudsakligen skogssädgäss och befinner sig i området under september och november. Därefter flyger de till övervintringslokalerna i Skåne och Danmark och återvänder sedan till någon av de stora rastplatserna i februari–mars innan de flyttar vidare till Finland och Ryssland.
