Descripción
It's not more than fair to start with the downside of Örtofta, the smell. The efflux from the sugar mill is sometimes quite odorus. The banks around the ponds are also very muddy a lot of the time. But if one can live with that the site is nice and gives good views of the birds.
Örtofta is a inland site that consists of a number of ponds. Were to watch birds is determined by the levels of water in them. In the surrounding bushes and landscape other birds than those attracted by the ponds can be seen, fex Halcón Peregrino , Alcotán Europeo and Buscarla Pintoja.
The nutritious water in the ponds draw a variety of shorebirds, especially tringa waders but also calidri fex Correlimos de Temminck , Correlimos Falcinelo but also Combatiente. But even more rare visitors have been seen, fex Correlimos Pectoral, Agujeta Escolopácea and Correlimos Acuminado. Except waders the site sometimes offers Zampullín Cuellinegro.
When crossing the stream, just after the parking, it is worth to look for Martín Pescador Común.
