Descrizione
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 Folaga, Smergo maggiore, Germano reale, Moretta, Cigno reale, Oca canadese, Gabbiano reale nordico and Quattrocchi can be found. Often numbering in the hundreds. Within these flocks rarer wintering birds like Svasso maggiore, Pavoncella, Cigno selvatico, dabbling ducks, Tuffetto , Oca lombardella, Storno, Moriglione, and Cormorano can be spotted. The large amounts of wintering birds attract birds of prey like Aquila di mare, Poiana, and Albanella reale.
When the ice melts large amounts of pipits, larks, geese, Cigno selvatico, and sometimes Cigno minore, 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 Frullino, Pettegola, Corriere grosso, Pavoncella, and Pantana. The reedbeds around the lake are now filled with birds. Some rare birds who are sometimes found around the lakes are Tarabuso, Salciaiola, Basettino and Cannareccione. Some rare terns and gulls like Gabbianello and Mignattino comune pass the lake during the spring migration.
Some rarer breeding birds at the lake are Cannareccione, Tarabuso, Starna, Picchio rosso minore, Re di quaglie and Martin pescatore. Norrbysjön is and excellent area for night active birds. Around the lake Re di quaglie, Quaglia, Forapaglie macchiettato, Usignolo maggiore, Locustella fluviatile, Cannaiola verdognola 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 Zigolo delle nevi, Zigolo della Lapponia and Pispola golarossa are often found. Hundreds of Piviere dorato can often be found on the fields. Sometimes marine ducks like Orchetto marino and Orco marino stay at the lake.
