Description
Linsellsjön is a lake surrounded by forest and is nice for a short stop if you are in the area or pass by. The lake has a number of boulders and small islands. As the lake is rich in fish you can often observe potáplice severní, orlovec říční and terns. The season begins in April with labuť zpěvná, morčák prostřední, potáplice severní, kulík zlatý and vodouš šedý. In May, more ducks such as hvízdák eurasijský, čírka obecná, turpan černý and, with a bit of luck potáplice malá can be found then. More waders stop by, such as vodouš šedý and vodouš kropenatý. Gulls and terns are also arriving. In July, waders can be seen on their autumn migration, including jespák šedý and vodouš šedý. Otherwise, it is divers and various water birds that stay throughout the summer, even racek malý have been seen.
