Husie Mosse is 28-hectare wetland area with associated woodland that’s right on the eastern edge of Malmö where the suburban fabric turns into agricultural fields. The area was an overgrown marshland that was excavated and restored in 1997 to create the 4-hectare lake in the center and the associated natural surroundings. Bird life is rich in the area and includes a good mixture of birds of prey and songbirds.

Up to 36 species of birds seen here on previous spring walks including Common Redstart / Rödstjärt, Blackcap /Svarthätta, Red-necked Grebe /Gråhakedopping, Great Spotted Woodpecker /Större hackspett, Marsh Harrier /Brun kärrhök, White-tailed Eagle / Havsörn and Eurasian Sparrowhawk / Sparvhök.

Ön is located in the Limhamn-Bunkeflo district in southwestern Malmö. There isn’t a bridge but a short road that connects Ön and Limhamn, so technically the island (Ön) is a peninsula :-) Back in the days when lime was mined for cement production in Limhamn's lime quarry, the area that is today Ön was used for dumping slag products, thus laying the foundation for a new artificial island. During the first half of the twentieth century, various industrial activities were carried out here. The northern part of the island began to be built up in the early 1990s with apartment buildings and that area is known for sport fishing with many recreational fisherfolk regularly present there.

Because of its strategic location that directly faces the Öresund strait, Ön is a wonderful location for watching bird migration both in the spring and in the autumn. Golden Plover / Ljungpipare, Razorbill /Tordmule, Common Scoter / Sjöorre, Eurasian Oystercatcher / Strandskata, Northern Gannet/ Havssula, and Common Guillemot / Sillgrissla have al be recorded here on passage. Sometimes though, a real rarity shows up such as a Black-browed Albatross /Svartbrynad albatross, so it is good to keep an eye out at this location.

Klagshamn is my favorite place in Malmö. It is a peninsula that contains several different types of habitats such as woodland, scrub and thickets, mudflats, marshland, open fields, and flowery meadows. It is this diversity of habitat that makes Klagshamn so attractive for birds - nearly 200 different species have been recorded here. Other urban wildlife can also be spotted here like the Red Fox / Rödräv , Roe Deer / Rådjur and Wild Boar / Vildsvin, as well as a wide diversity of insects including the rare Lesser Emperor Dragonfly / Mindre Kejsartrollslända. It is also home to Sweden’s acutely endangered Green Toad / Grönfläckig padda that’s on the national red list. Klagshamn was designated a nature reserve in 2019.

Between Klagshamn and the Öresund bridge is Bunkeflostrand strand. This area comprises coastal meadows (ängar) that have been used as grazing land since the bronze age and are thus culturally significant. A type of cattle that’s a mix between Aberdeen Angus and Highland Cattle are released in the fields during the summer in order to keep the meadows open and prevent overgrowth. The area also has some wooded parts, which adds to the diversity of habitats. Due to its importance for breeding and migrating birdlife and its cultural significance, Bunkeflostrand was designated a nature reserve back in 2007 as Malmö’s first nature reserve.

Ribersborg is one of those places that is both popular with Malmö residents and is a really good for birds during the migration season. The three ponds of the Öresundsdammarna have thick reedbeds that provide habitat for nesting Red-necked Grebes / Gråhakedopping, Reed Warblers / Rörsångare, Moorhens / Rörhöna, Little Grebes / Smådopping, Mute Swans / Knölsvan and other birds. Along the coastline, there waders can be found on migration including Greenshank / Gluttsnäppa, Ringed Plover / Större strandpipare, Common Sandpiper / Drillsnäppa, and Redshank / Rödbena. This walk is about 3 km in one direction and we’ll walk from one end of Ribersborg to the other.
