Beschrijving
Ölstadsjön is a nature reserve and one of the best sites for dabbling ducks in the municipality of Finspång. Although not nearly as good as the sites on the Östgöta plain Zomertaling, Wintertaling, Wilde Eend, Smient and Slobeend have all been sighted. The lake has a quite restricted area of open water so the amounts are often lacking. Other common ducks of the diving kind have also been observed. The lake was once known for its population of breeding Kuifduiker, and even Geoorde Fuut although they are both now gone. Around the lake relatively large amounts of geese often rest all seasons except winter. Most common are Brandgans, Grote Canadese Gans and Grauwe Gans, although Kolgans also have been sighted. Grote Zilverreiger has been sighted and Blauwe Reiger is common.
The area around Ölstadsjön is rich in birds of prey with wetland birds like Bruine Kiekendief, Buizerd, Ruigpootbuizerd, Zeearend, and Blauwe Kiekendief often beein observed along with visitors from the forest like Sperwer, Havik and Visarend.
On the field Veldleeuwerik, Witgat, Putter, Spreeuw Kievit, Graspieper and Kneu are often seen. Even Kwartel has been heard. In the lake some gulls and tern are often sighted.
In the reeds Waterral, Rietgors, Roerdomp (not often), Rietzanger, and Kleine Karekiet are observed.
