Magle wetlandin Hässleholm with landscaped treatment ponds, recreational area for people and bird-rich.
5 April 2010: I am to visit my
relatives in Hässleholm. Stop by at Magle wetland. Manmade
landscaped ponds with bird life, next to Södra Kringelvägen
where there is parking. Between the dams are footpaths. Since these are
treatment ponds is it not appropriate to fish, it is also forbidden. In
the southeastern corner is a small car parking and barbecue area. A
coot is swimming in a pond. Goes up on the bird watching platform, I
look through my binoculars and is studying the bird life. Swans, geese
of various kinds. A common goldeneye is slipping past. Do not know much
about birds, I have to look them up in my bird book. It's probably a
couple of Red-breasted Merganser passing by. Many humans are on the
move. Jogging, cycling, walking. A large bird is flying over the ponds,
perhaps an osprey? A girl makes me company, a moment later her mother
and dog join. I'm pleased with the company. Goes up the hill behind the
bird platform. Large nest boxes are mounted on the trees. To the west
is a swamp. A path leads to a hide. I sit a while in there. Not much to
hide from right now. In the southern part is the trail Skåneleden
and a riding path. Horses, with rider, are galloping past. I trot to
the car.
