Shallow lake with lots of different birds also in the surrounding area, especially during spring and summer.
Fläcksjön is a lake with surrounding wetland mainly known for its rich bird life. Although most of the nature reserve is occupied by more or less open fields and wet grasslands, there are also different types of forest environments, mainly in the western part. In Fläcksjön you can observe lots of swans, geese and ducks. The sångsvan often arrives early, already from the end of February and when they are at their peak, the cacophony from hundreds of swans is impressive. During May you have the opportunity to see some wading birds, such as enkelbeckasin, skogssnäppa, brushane and storspov.
Other birds that can be observed in the area are svarttärna, fisktärna, Trana and knipa. On summer nights you can sometimes hear rördrom, kornknarr and småfläckig sumphöna within the reserve area. You have a chance to see havsörn in the area all year round. A good place to see sångsvan is in the outlet of the Svartån river.
