Description

Østerådalen Nord is easy to get to, easy to get around and with good opportunities to see the birds up close. The different nature types provide plenty of opportunity to experience a diverse palette of birds. In the so-called 'bird lakes' at the southern end, various ducks and grebes roost. In the surrounding reed forests, pajusirkku and ruokokerttunen can be seen, and if you're lucky, viiksitimali and sinirinta. The nearby meadows occasionally offer waders under the right conditions. töyhtöhyyppä breeds in the area.

In the late evening hours, kottarainen , harakka and crows gather for the night, and kaulushaikara and Luhtakana call from the reeds. pikku-uikku and kuningaskalastaja can be seen in the stream. In the winter, the site is a good place for vuorikirvinen.
