Beschrijving
During late April and early May hundreds of Taigarietgans and Toendrarietgans are staging at lake Ostträsket. Most other species of geese also occurr in smaller numbers, as well as Wilde Zwaan and Kraanvogel. Until a few decades Dwerggans was regular here but it is nowadays very rare. Dabbling ducks may stay in good numbers, especially Wintertaling and Wilde Eend. Korhoen are lekking on the fields around Tällåsen.
There are plenty of Kraanvogel also in August and September (up till several thousands). Grauwe Gans is the most numerous goose species during the autumn. Raptors like Zeearend, Blauwe Kiekendief, Smelleken or Slechtvalk are regular. Steppekiekendief is more or less annual. Often interesting passerines feed on the fields, as IJsgors or Sneeuwgors.
Though a visit may prove nice at any time of year, the summer months yield less birds. The amount of breeding birds in the lake is low, but it is used by feeding Dwergmeeuw, and Boomvalk and Visarend are not uncommon.
Details
Toegang
The only practical way to access Ostträsket is by Tällåsen in the western part. There is an informal vantage point in the village, as well as a birding tower by the meadows. To see Kraanvogel or geese during the days you may want to drive around on the public roads between Drängsmark, Kågegården and Kåge.

JaExtra info
The geese and Kraanvogel usually spend the night on the lake's ice or in the flooded meadows, and fly to the fields when sun rises. They tend to feed in a large area around the villages of Drängsmark and Kåge, but often near the lake at Tällåsen which is also the best spot to see them flying to and from the night quarters. The best time to visit is about April 20th until May 5th, or in autumn around September 1st-20th.
