Beschrijving
Fläcksjön is a lake with surrounding wetland mainly known for its rich bird life. Although most of the nature reserve is occupied by more or less open fields and wet grasslands, there are also different types of forest environments, mainly in the western part. In Fläcksjön you can observe lots of swans, geese and ducks. The Wilde Zwaan often arrives early, already from the end of February and when they are at their peak, the cacophony from hundreds of swans is impressive. During May you have the opportunity to see some wading birds, such as Watersnip, Witgat, Kemphaan and Wulp.
Other birds that can be observed in the area are Zwarte Stern, Visdief, Kraanvogel and Brilduiker. On summer nights you can sometimes hear Roerdomp, Kwartelkoning and Porseleinhoen within the reserve area. You have a chance to see Zeearend in the area all year round. A good place to see Wilde Zwaan is in the outlet of the Svartån river.
