Description

Stadsjön has wetland areas, forest, meadows, reed beds and river habitats. This variety attracts many birds. Along the hiking trail you can walk or roll straight through wetlands, experience rainforest-like deciduous forest, and look out over the open wet meadows where cows graze. From the newly built lookout tower you look out over the beautiful landscape. If you are lucky, the Codalb can come gliding over, or you can hear Lăcar mic singing. During spring and autumn, the reserve is visited by large numbers of resting birds. Among the birds you can encounter are Rață lingurar, Rață moțată, Pițigoi sur, Silvie de zăvoi, Acvilă de munte, Erete de stuf, Erete vânăt, Corb, Codobatură galbenă, Presură galbenă, Gârliță mică, Șorecar încălțat, Rață fluierătoare, Rață mică, Rață sunătoare, Ferestraș mare, Cuc, Cârstel de baltă, Cocor, Culic mare, Fugaci de țărm, Sitar de pădure, Becațină comună, Becațină mare, Fluierar cu picioare roșii, Fluierar de mlaștină, Fluierar cu picioare verzi, Cufundar polar, Chiră de baltă, Uligan pescar, Viespar, Gaie roșie, Ciocănitoare pestriță mică, Huhurez mic, Capîntortură, Ciocănitoare neagră, Șoimul rândunelelor, Șoim călător, Sfrâncioc mare, Grelușel pătat, Pescărel negru, Privighetoare de zăvoi and Gușă vânătă.
