Description

Backgården is an area of open fields fields that border the lake of Stora Aspen. In the spring, not only many migrating birds fly over but there is a chance to see many kinds of geese, as well as Busard Saint-Martin, Bruant des neiges, Bruant lapon, Faucon émerillon, Linotte à bec jaune, Merle à plastron, Courlis corlieu and also different kinds of ducks can be seen with a little luck (Harle piette, Canard souchet, Canard chipeau and Canard siffleur). Common species during the summer are Garrot à oeil d'or, Plongeon arctique, Plongeon catmarin, Sterne pierregarin, Goéland cendré, Goéland argenté, Tarier des prés, Vanneau huppé, Grand Cormoran, Pygargue à queue blanche, Balbuzard pêcheur, Faucon crécerelle and Courlis cendré.

Waders like Bécassine des marais, Chevalier sylvain and Chevalier culblanc are usually seen in the marsh. In winter, there is a bird feed that often has a lot of Bruant jaune (which are also stationary in summer). Also Bouvreuil pivoine, Verdier d'Europe, Chardonneret élégant, Mésange nonnette, Geai des chênes, Mésange bleue, Mésange charbonnière, Pinson du Nord and Sittelle torchepot to name a few have been seen at the feeding place in winter. If you are lucky, there is a chance of several kinds of woodpeckers. At the feeding site Pic épeiche is a frequent visitor in winter (it is common there all year round). Pic vert and Pic noir are on site all year round (but mainly spring, summer and autumn) and are discovered mainly through their sounds.

Pic épeichette, Torcol fourmilier and Pic cendré have also been observed at the site. During summer nights, you may be lucky enough to hear some species. Chouette hulotte sometimes calls, in some years Râle des genêts is on the arable land and in the wetland there is a chance for various night songbirds, such as Locustelle tachetée, Phragmite des joncs and Rossignol progné. Bécassine des marais is a common species here that is usually noisy after sunset. As it is a bit down to the water, you may need to walk over the grass to be able to listen for night owls properly. The grass is quite tall and usually damp at night, so waterproof shoes are good to have. Please avoid walking on cultivated land.
