Description

The roof of a parking garage in center of Jönköping. With a great view over the lake of Vättern. You go up to the 9th floor and bird from there. A true "drive in" location. After autumn storms on the west coast, some nice pelagic birds have been seen over the years.

Good species are čopasti ponirek, velika govnačka, lopatasta govnačka, bodičasta govnačka and dolgorepa govnačka. All of these birds (except čopasti ponirek) are hard to see inland. Other scarcer species that can be seen are rakovičar, lastovičji galeb, strmoglavec, viharni strakoš, črni viharnik, triprsti galeb, ledni viharnik, beloliska, crna raca and zimska raca.
