Descripción

Just as any season at Gärstad, the area is overflowing with gulls even in winter. Most common are Gaviota argéntea europea and Gavión Atlántico. But also smaller amounts of wintering Gaviota Cana and Gaviota Reidora. During cold winters even Gavión Hiperbóreo has been found. The gulls also attract large amounts of wintering birds of prey like Pigargo Europeo, Halcón Peregrino, Busardo ratonero, and Gavilán Común. 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 Pinzón Vulgar (rare in winter), Pardillo Común (rare in winter), Pardillo Piquigualdo, Agachadiza Chica and Colirrojo Tizón 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 Corneja Cenicienta, Cuervo Grande and Grajilla Occidental.

During sping most of the Gaviota Cana and Gaviota Reidora return to Gärstadverken. Rarer gulls like Gaviota sombría, and Gaviota del Caspio are also found during this period. Early spring birds are also often found here first like Estornino Pinto, Alondra Común, Avefría Europea, and Paloma Torcaz. 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 Archibebe Común, Ostrero Euroasiático, and Chorlito Dorado Europeo being common. During autumn even some arctic waders can be found.

During summer Somormujo Lavanco, Zampullín Común, Chorlitejo Chico, Zampullín Cuellirrojo and Zampullín Cuellinegro, who arrive in spring, all breed in the many dams in the area. Zampullín Cuellinegro 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 Gaviota Cana and Gaviota argéntea europea. Although they often venture into lake Roxen. Here Gaviota del Caspio is relativley numerous, and Gaviota Patiamarilla can be found. Other rare gulls like Gaviota Tridáctila (very rare) and Gaviota Enana can also be seen.
