Descrizione

Just as any season at Gärstad, the area is overflowing with gulls even in winter. Most common are Gabbiano reale nordico and Mugnaiaccio. But also smaller amounts of wintering Gavina and Gabbiano comune. During cold winters even Gabbiano glauco has been found. The gulls also attract large amounts of wintering birds of prey like Aquila di mare, Falco pellegrino, Poiana, and Sparviere. 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 Fringuello (rare in winter), Fanello (rare in winter), Fanello nordico, Frullino and Codirosso spazzacamino 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 Cornacchia grigia, Corvo imperiale and Taccola.

During sping most of the Gavina and Gabbiano comune return to Gärstadverken. Rarer gulls like Zafferano, and Gabbiano reale pontico are also found during this period. Early spring birds are also often found here first like Storno, Allodola, Pavoncella, and Colombaccio. 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 Pettegola, Beccaccia di mare, and Piviere dorato being common. During autumn even some arctic waders can be found.

During summer Svasso maggiore, Tuffetto, Corriere piccolo, Svasso cornuto and Svasso piccolo, who arrive in spring, all breed in the many dams in the area. Svasso piccolo 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 Gavina and Gabbiano reale nordico. Although they often venture into lake Roxen. Here Gabbiano reale pontico is relativley numerous, and Gabbiano reale can be found. Other rare gulls like Gabbiano tridattilo (very rare) and Gabbianello can also be seen.
