Description
Lake Paviken and its surroundings form a nature reserve which has some of the best birding on the island of Gotland. The nutritious lake is a stop-over site for migratory birds during spring and autumn. The birds are also attracted by the reeds and grazed, damp meadows. A total of 240 bird species has been observed in the area. The lake has a bird observation tower on the east side. Ducks, bukač velký, jeřáb popelavý and moták pochop thrive here together with many other species. In the bushes by the lakeshore you can hear singing warblers and rails in the evenings and nights. Among the other birds you can see are labuť zpěvná, slavík tmavý, chřástal kropenatý, Chřástal vodní, čírka modrá, strakapoud malý and moudivláček lužní. Rare guests that have been seen here are čáp černý, zrzohlávka rudozobá, poštolka rudonohá, berneška rudokrká, dudek chocholatý and vlaštovka skalní.
