Description
During winter most of the Norrbysjön lake is covered in ice, but where Motala ström meets Norrbysjön the water is ususally open year round. During this period large flocks of Liska, Veliki ronac, Divlja Patka, Krunata Patka, Crvenokljuni Labud, Kanadska guska, Galeb Klaukavac and Patka Batoglavica can be found. Often numbering in the hundreds. Within these flocks rarer wintering birds like Ćubasti Gnjurac, Vivak, Žutokljuni Labud, dabbling ducks, Mali Gnjurac , Lisasta Guska, Čvorak, Glavata Patka, and Veliki Vranac can be spotted. The large amounts of wintering birds attract birds of prey like Štekavac, Škanjac, and Eja Strnjarica.
When the ice melts large amounts of pipits, larks, geese, Žutokljuni Labud, and sometimes Mali labud, use the fields around the lake as feeding grounds. The lake is usually filled with many dabbling ducks, gulls and terns. Husbyängarna are often flodded, and usually hold wading birds like Mala Šljuka, Crvenonoga Prutka, Kulik Blatarić, Vivak, and Krivokljuna Prutka. The reedbeds around the lake are now filled with birds. Some rare birds who are sometimes found around the lakes are Bukavac, Veliki Cvrčić, Brkata Sjenica and Veliki Trstenjak. Some rare terns and gulls like Mali Galeb and Crna Čigra pass the lake during the spring migration.
Some rarer breeding birds at the lake are Veliki Trstenjak, Bukavac, Trčka, Mali djetao, Kosac and Vodomar. Norrbysjön is and excellent area for night active birds. Around the lake Kosac, Prepelica, Pjegavi Cvrčić, Mrki Slavuj, Cvrčić potočar, Trstenjak Mlakar can often be heard at the lake.
During autumn large amounts of geese start to visit the lake again. Many more passerine birds can be found on the fields. Among these Bijela strnadica, Laponska strnadica and Rusogrla trepteljka are often found. Hundreds of Troprsti Zlatar can often be found on the fields. Sometimes marine ducks like Crna patka and Patka kulašica stay at the lake.
