Description
Kvismare is a wetland nature reserve of 732 ha. Each year around 200 different bird species are observed in the area, both during migration and breeding. It's an valuable area for observations and research or watching birds in their natural habitat. Even though this area has not a lot of birding towers, it's still a very good route with a variety of habitats and different bird species.
Details
Access
The nature reserve is situated southeast of Örebro. There are signposts from road 52 between Kumla and Odensbacken and on road 207 between Örebro and Odensbacken. The main entrance is at Öby kulle, in the centre of the nature reserve. I would advice to park on the north east side of the lake. When you enter Åsen you should drive along a gravel path until you reach the lake. There is not much parkings space here, but it's a quite road. Alternative is to park at the main entrance.

West of Öby kulle is Lake "Rysjön", an open lake with areas of common reed surrounded with wetlands. During spring and autumn the fields and wetland areas around Lake Rysjön are good places to observe migrating сив жерав and geese, especially Палска (Посебна) гуска. Many of them uses the lake as sleeping place.
East of Öby kulle a path leads to Lake "Fågelsjön" and a larger wetland area called Estern Kvismaren. It's a breeding place for species such as обичен трскар црна рибарка , црвеноврат нуркач , ушест нуркач , голем воден бик , мустаклеста сипка and Arctic Tern. This is a good place to see migrating birds, especially in the spring. Палска (Посебна) гуска is seen in the large numbers, but every year rarer species such as мала белочелна гуска , Pink-footed Goose , белочелна гуска are observed in lesser number. During winter time Lake Fågelsjön is a good place to see белоопашест орел, орел рибар and златен орел.
