And island made to the fulfillment of society’s need for progress and economical development and indeed not for the breeding of birds.
But, with the noisy traffic of civilisation, safely contained behind wired fences, Peberholm has developed into a peaceful place for animals, for birds.
These birds photographed Tuesday the 22nd of June 2004 where the island was open to the press.
Peberholm, literally "Pepper islet", is an artificial island which was built as part of the Oresund Bridge between Denmark and Sweden.
Peberholm is protected by strong laws and only biologists are allowed to visit the island — once a year — outside the boundaries of the railroad and highway that the island was created for.
Peberholm is built up off soil from the deep of the Öresund which was left over when the Öresund Bridge was built.
Peberholm (literally "Pepper Islet") is a small artificial island located in the Danish part of the Oresund.
Peberholm was constructed in the proximity of the small natural island of Saltholm (Salt Islet), and was named to complement it (thus avoiding less imaginative suggestions like "New Saltholm" or "Little Saltholm").
The original designs for a bridge across the Oresund ("The Sound") required extensive use of Saltholm as a stepping-stone for the bridge.

Der dänische Name Peberholm (wörtlich "Pfefferinselchen") ist eine Anspielung auf die natürliche Insel Saltholm ("Salzinselchen"), die etwa 1 km nördlich von Peberholm liegt.
The artificial island of "Peberholm", located south of "Saltholm", is built in order to transfer the traffic from the immersed tunnel up onto the approach bridge.
"Peberholm" is approximately 4 km long and mainly made up of dredged material from the Øresund seabed.
A total of 1.6 million m³ of stone and 7,5 million m³ of sand and dredged material were required for its completion.
Peberholm er en kunstig ø anlagt syd for Saltholm i Øresund.
Peberholm blev anlagt til brug for Øresundsforbindelsen mellem Amager og Skåne idet øen skulle danne forbindelse mellem tunnelen under Drogden-renden (Drogden-tunnelen) i vest og højbroen i øst.
Peberholm blev bygget ved hjælp af materiale der blev til overs ved kompensationsafgravningerne under etableringen af den faste forbindelse.
These hopes became fact when scientists realized that the soil used to create the island, taken from the bottom of Oresund during the bridge's construction, in fact contained seeds of many interesting, rare or even extinct plants.

Peberholm (literally "Pepper Islet") is a small artificial island located in Tårnby municipality, Denmark.
Peberholm was constructed in the proximity of the small natural island of Saltholm (Salt Islet), and was named to complement it (thus avoiding less imaginative suggestions like "New Saltholm" or "Little Saltholm").
The original designs for a bridge across the Oresund ("The Sound") required extensive use of Saltholm as a stepping-stone for the bridge.
And although there was not much boat traffic to gawp at (the yachts and other craft on the Oresund Strait usually make for a pretty sight), we could certainly appreciate the bridge’s engineering.
A rail line runs under the four lane road, which we were speeding along, and part of the way the road goes over an artificial island called Peberholm, specially created for this project.
As it started raining more heavily, we were glad that the bus was centrally heated.
Linking the countries of Sweden and Denmark is the Oresund Bridge which actually comprises a cable-stayed bridge, an artificial island (Peberholm) and a tunnel.
The total length is 16km and is split over two levels (a railway is below the road).
The artificial island was called Peberholm (meaning “Pepper island”) as it is just south of the natural Saltholm (Salt island).
Among the most exciting of the Oresund orders Flygt received was the project's largest single pump order-24 pumps for the project's coast-to-coast fixed link between Malmo and Copenhagen.
These pumps will drain the 3,750 meter long tunnel between the Danish shore and a manmade island, Peberholm.
The high-performance pumps Flygt provided to do the job are 24 CP 3356, 3300, 3201 and 3085 models.
