Beschrijving
During winter most of the Norrbysjön lake is covered in ice, but where Motala ström meets Norrbysjön the water is ususally open year round. During this period large flocks of Meerkoet, Grote Zaagbek, Wilde Eend, Kuifeend, Knobbelzwaan, Grote Canadese Gans, Zilvermeeuw and Brilduiker can be found. Often numbering in the hundreds. Within these flocks rarer wintering birds like Fuut, Kievit, Wilde Zwaan, dabbling ducks, Dodaars , Kolgans, Spreeuw, Tafeleend, and Aalscholver can be spotted. The large amounts of wintering birds attract birds of prey like Zeearend, Buizerd, and Blauwe Kiekendief.
When the ice melts large amounts of pipits, larks, geese, Wilde Zwaan, and sometimes Kleine Zwaan, use the fields around the lake as feeding grounds. The lake is usually filled with many dabbling ducks, gulls and terns. Husbyängarna are often flodded, and usually hold wading birds like Bokje, Tureluur, Bontbekplevier, Kievit, and Groenpootruiter. The reedbeds around the lake are now filled with birds. Some rare birds who are sometimes found around the lakes are Roerdomp, Snor, Baardman and Grote Karekiet. Some rare terns and gulls like Dwergmeeuw and Zwarte Stern pass the lake during the spring migration.
Some rarer breeding birds at the lake are Grote Karekiet, Roerdomp, Patrijs, Kleine Bonte Specht, Kwartelkoning and IJsvogel. Norrbysjön is and excellent area for night active birds. Around the lake Kwartelkoning, Kwartel, Sprinkhaanzanger, Noordse Nachtegaal, Krekelzanger, Bosrietzanger can often be heard at the lake.
During autumn large amounts of geese start to visit the lake again. Many more passerine birds can be found on the fields. Among these Sneeuwgors, IJsgors and Roodkeelpieper are often found. Hundreds of Goudplevier can often be found on the fields. Sometimes marine ducks like Zwarte Zee-eend and Grote Zee-eend stay at the lake.
