Opis
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 cyranka, cyraneczka, krzyżówka, świstun and Płaskonos 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 perkoz rogaty, and even zausznik although they are both now gone. Around the lake relatively large amounts of geese often rest all seasons except winter. Most common are bernikla białolica, bernikla kanadyjska and gęgawa, although gęś białoczelna also have been sighted. czapla biała has been sighted and czapla siwa is common.
The area around Ölstadsjön is rich in birds of prey with wetland birds like błotniak stawowy, myszołów, myszołów włochaty, bielik, and błotniak zbożowy often beein observed along with visitors from the forest like krogulec, jastrząb and rybołów.
On the field skowronek, samotnik, szczygieł, szpak czajka, świergotek łąkowy and makolągwa are often seen. Even przepiórka has been heard. In the lake some gulls and tern are often sighted.
In the reeds wodnik (zwyczajny), potrzos, bąk (not often), rokitniczka, and trzcinniczek (zwyczajny) are observed.
