Gärstadverken is large recycling plant, with large dams, and amounts of waste. This makes it Östergötlands premier location for gulls.
Just as any season at Gärstad, the area is overflowing with gulls even in winter. Most common are Goéland argenté and Goéland marin. But also smaller amounts of wintering Goéland cendré and Mouette rieuse. During cold winters even Goéland bourgmestre has been found. The gulls also attract large amounts of wintering birds of prey like Pygargue à queue blanche, Faucon pèlerin, Buse variable, and Épervier d'Europe. 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 Pinson des arbres (rare in winter), Linotte mélodieuse (rare in winter), Linotte à bec jaune, Bécassine sourde and Rougequeue noir 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 Corneille mantelée, Grand Corbeau and Choucas des tours.
During sping most of the Goéland cendré and Mouette rieuse return to Gärstadverken. Rarer gulls like Goéland brun, and Goéland pontique are also found during this period. Early spring birds are also often found here first like Étourneau sansonnet, Alouette des champs, Vanneau huppé, and Pigeon ramier. 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 Chevalier gambette, Huîtrier pie, and Pluvier doré being common. During autumn even some arctic waders can be found.
During summer Grèbe huppé, Grèbe castagneux, Petit Gravelot, Grèbe esclavon and Grèbe à cou noir, who arrive in spring, all breed in the many dams in the area. Grèbe à cou noir 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 Goéland cendré and Goéland argenté. Although they often venture into lake Roxen. Here Goéland pontique is relativley numerous, and Goéland leucophée can be found. Other rare gulls like Mouette tridactyle (very rare) and Mouette pygmée can also be seen.
Gärstadverken is located between the city of Linköping and lake Roxen. There is a parking lot. Click on a P in the map for directions to a parking.
