The peat bogs are rich
environments due to their many characteristics. There are pools of water, dried
peat mounds through which heather and bulrushes grow. There is little impact of
man, and therefore a multitude of animals can flourish there, such as
butterflies and dragonflies inherited from the glacial age. Birds, particularly
during the course of migration, find tranquillity, shade and nourishment there.
These are woodcock, geese, curlews ducks and lapwings.
