Descrizione

During late April and early May hundreds of Oca granaiola della taiga and Oca granaiola della tundra are staging at lake Ostträsket. Most other species of geese also occurr in smaller numbers, as well as Cigno selvatico and Gru. Until a few decades Oca lombardella minore was regular here but it is nowadays very rare. Dabbling ducks may stay in good numbers, especially Alzavola and Germano reale. Fagiano di monte are lekking on the fields around Tällåsen.

There are plenty of Gru also in August and September (up till several thousands). Oca selvatica is the most numerous goose species during the autumn. Raptors like Aquila di mare, Albanella reale, Smeriglio or Falco pellegrino are regular. Albanella pallida is more or less annual. Often interesting passerines feed on the fields, as Zigolo della Lapponia or Zigolo delle nevi.

Though a visit may prove nice at any time of year, the summer months yield less birds. The amount of breeding birds in the lake is low, but it is used by feeding Gabbianello, and Lodolaio and Falco pescatore are not uncommon.

Dettagli

Accesso

The only practical way to access Ostträsket is by Tällåsen in the western part. There is an informal vantage point in the village, as well as a birding tower by the meadows. To see Gru or geese during the days you may want to drive around on the public roads between Drängsmark, Kågegården and Kåge.

Informazioni aggiuntive

The geese and Gru usually spend the night on the lake's ice or in the flooded meadows, and fly to the fields when sun rises. They tend to feed in a large area around the villages of Drängsmark and Kåge, but often near the lake at Tällåsen which is also the best spot to see them flying to and from the night quarters. The best time to visit is about April 20th until May 5th, or in autumn around September 1st-20th.
