Description
The lake Sörfjärden that is part of the bay of Lake Mälaren has big areas of reed beds. If you are lucky, you will see or hear viiksitimali, rastaskerttunen or kaulushaikara from the bird tower. A characteristic bird of the area is rastaskerttunen but also ruokosirkkalintu is heard singing in the reeds on a yearly basis. ruskosuohaukka also breeds here and now there are observations of jalohaikara almost every year. During spring, you can hear käki, or see the first nuolihaukka foraging over the reeds. Both merikotka and sääksi (kalasääski) are seen passing the bird tower.
If you are looking for water fowl and reed birds, there is always a chance to see something interesting if you stop at this location. Many interesting species have been seen from this bird tower. Opposite from the bird tower, there is an older bird tower that may be worth a visit just to pass through the forest to the tower. There you can hear kirjosieppo or other warblers sing during spring. The bird tower is easily accessed (also for disabled persons), and there is a small parking space a few hundred meters from the tower.
