Descrizione

Björken is a very shallow lake with by extensive alluvial marshes. In the agricultural landscape the wetland is an important resting place for many birds, and a last outpost before the woodland takes over to the north. In the bird observation tower, you have a good view of most of the lake, including the lake's inlet and outlet, where the ice first breaks and the birds gather in the spring. Scan mud banks for resting waders during spring and autumn. The southern part of the lake can be viewed from a platform 400 m further south. Along the path to the bird observation tower, you have a good chance of hearing Ciuffolotto scarlatto in the birch groves (May-June) and Ortolano in the birch thickets (first half of May). There is a small, but stable amount of nesting Ortolano, probably the only one in Värmland.

Many swans and ducks rest in Björken during the spring, also diving ducks such as Moretta codona and Orco marino. When the marshes around the lake are flooded, large numbers of waders also rest, mainly various Tringa species. Aquila di mare and Albanella reale sometimes occur during the spring migration and Merlo dal collare often make a stop here in the spring. In the forest groves there are Lodolaio, Picchio rosso minore, Canapino maggiore and Ciuffolotto scarlatto. From the surrounding fields sometimes Quaglia and Re di quaglie are heard, although the breeding frequency is uncertain.

In the autumn geese rest in the fields around the lake and the flocks can contain both Oca zamperosee and Oca colombaccio. Waders can also stop in autumn, especially when mud banks in the lake are exposed by low water levels, which can also attract smaller numbers of Calidris waders. In some autumns Pettazzurro are common.

Rare birds that have been observed in the area are Airone bianco maggiore, Green-winged Teal, Moretta tabaccata, Albanella minore, Albanella pallida, Piovanello pettorale, Albastrello, Fraticello, Upupa, Calandro, Spioncello marino, Locustella fluviatile, Bigia padovana, Luì verdastro, Pigliamosche pettirosso, Rigogolo, Crociere fasciato and Zigolo boschereccio.
