Description
The lake Sörfjärden that is part of the bay of Lake Mälaren has big areas of reed beds. If you are lucky, you will see or hear Pițigoi de stuf, Lăcar mare or Buhai de baltă from the bird tower. A characteristic bird of the area is Lăcar mare but also Grelușel de stuf is heard singing in the reeds on a yearly basis. Erete de stuf also breeds here and now there are observations of Egretă mare almost every year. During spring, you can hear Cuc, or see the first Șoimul rândunelelor foraging over the reeds. Both Codalb and Uligan pescar are seen passing the bird tower.
If you are looking for water fowl and reed birds, there is always a chance to see something interesting if you stop at this location. Many interesting species have been seen from this bird tower. Opposite from the bird tower, there is an older bird tower that may be worth a visit just to pass through the forest to the tower. There you can hear Muscar negru or other warblers sing during spring. The bird tower is easily accessed (also for disabled persons), and there is a small parking space a few hundred meters from the tower.
