Beskrivning

More than 230 species of birds have been recorded in and around Østensjøvannet. In summer the lake hosts a large colony of skrattmås, as well as populations of skäggdopping, sothöna, rörhöna and vigg. You can also find Sävsparv, rörsångare and the occational grönsångare here.

It is a popular area for recreation, and there is a path all around the lake with plenty of good viewpoints. The path brings you quite close to the water's edge. There is also a bird hide on the west side of the lake, which provies good views of the central parts.

During spring and autumn the lake is used as a stopover by numerous species, such as Skedand, svarthakedopping and waders.

In winter, large flocks of gräsand stay at the lake, with the occational stjärtand and bläsand thrown in. Various geese and sothöna are also known to winter here. As a bonus, encountering stjärtmes is not uncommon during the colder months.
