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.

Bird ringing is the most time consuming activity at the bird observatory, starting after midsummer and continuing for the remainder of the season until the end of September. When the weather is favourable, ringing takes place every morning from sunrise to noon.
The ringing is standardised which means that the same number of mist nets are used at the same sites year after year. Through this standardisation it is possible to compare different years and analyse changes in the bird populations.

In 1988, 100 Starling nest-boxes were placed in four groups around in Kvismaren. The project is being conducted under the project PMK (Project for environmental quality monitoring) at the Environmental Protection Agency through the University of Lund. These nest-boxes, which are managed by the Bird Observatory, have been monitored thoroughly so that number of pairs and breeding results could be calculated.
