Descripción

Björken is a very shallow lake with by extensive alluvial marshes. In the agricultural landscape the wetland is an important resting place for many birds, and a last outpost before the woodland takes over to the north. In the bird observation tower, you have a good view of most of the lake, including the lake's inlet and outlet, where the ice first breaks and the birds gather in the spring. Scan mud banks for resting waders during spring and autumn. The southern part of the lake can be viewed from a platform 400 m further south. Along the path to the bird observation tower, you have a good chance of hearing Camachuelo Carminoso in the birch groves (May-June) and Escribano Hortelano in the birch thickets (first half of May). There is a small, but stable amount of nesting Escribano Hortelano, probably the only one in Värmland.

Many swans and ducks rest in Björken during the spring, also diving ducks such as Pato Havelda and Negrón especulado. When the marshes around the lake are flooded, large numbers of waders also rest, mainly various Tringa species. Pigargo Europeo and Aguilucho pálido sometimes occur during the spring migration and Mirlo Capiblanco often make a stop here in the spring. In the forest groves there are Alcotán Europeo, Pico Menor, Zarcero Icterino and Camachuelo Carminoso. From the surrounding fields sometimes Codorniz Común and Guión de Codornices are heard, although the breeding frequency is uncertain.

In the autumn geese rest in the fields around the lake and the flocks can contain both Ánsar piquicorto and Barnacla Carinegra. Waders can also stop in autumn, especially when mud banks in the lake are exposed by low water levels, which can also attract smaller numbers of Calidris waders. In some autumns Ruiseñor Pechiazul are common.

Rare birds that have been observed in the area are Garceta Grande, Green-winged Teal, Porrón Pardo, Aguilucho Cenizo, Aguilucho Papialbo, Correlimos Pectoral, Archibebe Fino, Charrancito Común, Abubilla común, Bisbita Campestre, Bisbita Costero, Buscarla Fluvial, Curruca Gavilana, Mosquitero Verdoso, Papamoscas Papirrojo, Oropéndola Europea, Piquituerto Aliblanco and Escribano Rústico.
