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 Λαμπροβούτι, Ψαραετός and terns. The season begins in April with Αγριόκυκνος, Θαλασσοπρίστης, Λαμπροβούτι, (Ευρωπαϊκό) Βροχοπούλι and Πρασινοσκέλης. In May, more ducks such as (Ευρωπαϊκό) Σφυριχτάρι, (Ευρωπαϊκό) Κιρκίρι, (Ευρωπαϊκή) Μαυρόπαπια and, with a bit of luck Κηλιδοβούτι can be found then. More waders stop by, such as Πρασινοσκέλης and Δασότρυγγας. Gulls and terns are also arriving. In July, waders can be seen on their autumn migration, including Σταχτιά Νανοσκαλίδρα and Πρασινοσκέλης. Otherwise, it is divers and various water birds that stay throughout the summer, even Νανόγλαρος have been seen.
