Description

Østerådalen Nord is easy to get to, easy to get around and with good opportunities to see the birds up close. The different nature types provide plenty of opportunity to experience a diverse palette of birds. In the so-called 'bird lakes' at the southern end, various ducks and grebes roost. In the surrounding reed forests, Мочварна овесарка and мал трскар can be seen, and if you're lucky, мустаклеста сипка and Синогушка. The nearby meadows occasionally offer waders under the right conditions. калуѓерка breeds in the area.

In the late evening hours, обичен сколовранец , страчка and crows gather for the night, and голем воден бик and барска кокошка call from the reeds. мал нуркач and рибарче can be seen in the stream. In the winter, the site is a good place for карпеста трепетилка.
