Description

The surroundings of Ulva Kvarn do not have much unique birdlife but along this fast flowing part of the river Bjergvipstjert can be found in the spring and summer and Vandstær during the winter.

Although still hard to find this is one of the few places in Uppland where Hortulan can be found annually. They can most often be found in the fields right outside Ulva Kvarn.

Otherwise this area is still a very beatiful place to be and walk around.
