The flat land of Mörlunda and especially Emådalen with the village Tigerstad in the south and Lilla Aby in the north is one of southern Sweden's most interesting bird areas. During spring and autumn thousands of geese and swans rest on the big fields, along with golden plovers, lapwings, and starlings by the hundred.
Quite close by lies the lake Ryningen which is one of Sweden's most popular bird lakes. More than 240 bird species has been seen at Ryningen and about 180 species is seen yearly in the area.
