Descrizione
It's not more than fair to start with the downside of Örtofta, the smell. The efflux from the sugar mill is sometimes quite odorus. The banks around the ponds are also very muddy a lot of the time. But if one can live with that the site is nice and gives good views of the birds.
Örtofta is a inland site that consists of a number of ponds. Were to watch birds is determined by the levels of water in them. In the surrounding bushes and landscape other birds than those attracted by the ponds can be seen, fex Falco pellegrino , Lodolaio and Forapaglie macchiettato.
The nutritious water in the ponds draw a variety of shorebirds, especially tringa waders but also calidri fex Gambecchio nano , Gambecchio frullino but also Combattente. But even more rare visitors have been seen, fex Piovanello pettorale, Limnodromo pettorossiccio and Piovanello siberiano. Except waders the site sometimes offers Svasso piccolo.
When crossing the stream, just after the parking, it is worth to look for Martin pescatore.
