Gärstadverken is large recycling plant, with large dams, and amounts of waste. This makes it Östergötlands premier location for gulls.
Just as any season at Gärstad, the area is overflowing with gulls even in winter. Most common are Silbermöwe and Mantelmöwe. But also smaller amounts of wintering Sturmmöwe and Lachmöwe. During cold winters even Eismöwe has been found. The gulls also attract large amounts of wintering birds of prey like Seeadler, Wanderfalke, Mäusebussard, and Sperber. If the dams are ice free smaller amounts of ducks, geese and swans can be found in the area. Around Gärstadverken there are smaller amounts of wasteland enjoyed by birds during winter and alte autumn. Rare birds like Buchfink (rare in winter), Bluthänfling (rare in winter), Berghänfling, Zwergschnepfe and Hausrotschwanz have been found along with many more common wintering birds. Along with the gulls large amounts of crows also winter in the area. Most numerous are Nebelkrähe, Kolkrabe and Dohle.
During sping most of the Sturmmöwe and Lachmöwe return to Gärstadverken. Rarer gulls like Heringsmöwe, and Steppenmöwe are also found during this period. Early spring birds are also often found here first like Star, Feldlerche, Kiebitz, and Ringeltaube. The fields around Gärstadverken are also often filled with geese and swans during this period. When the dams open up most dabbling ducks common in the area can be found.
Gärstadverken is a quite surprisingly good location for wading birds. With Rotschenkel, Austernfischer, and Goldregenpfeifer being common. During autumn even some arctic waders can be found.
During summer Haubentaucher, Zwergtaucher, Flußregenpfeifer, Ohrentaucher and Schwarzhalstaucher, who arrive in spring, all breed in the many dams in the area. Schwarzhalstaucher is extremely rare (only breeds in one other area in Sweden since it recently disappeared from Skåne) and might have left this location for good since it wasn't found in 2022.
During autumn gulls are most numerous. Thousands of Sturmmöwe and Silbermöwe. Although they often venture into lake Roxen. Here Steppenmöwe is relativley numerous, and Mittelmeermöwe can be found. Other rare gulls like Dreizehenmöwe (very rare) and Zwergmöwe can also be seen.
Gärstadverken is located between the city of Linköping and lake Roxen. There is a parking lot. Click on a P in the map for directions to a parking.
