Beskrivning
Just as any season at Gärstad, the area is overflowing with gulls even in winter. Most common are Gråtrut and havstrut. But also smaller amounts of wintering fiskmås and skrattmås. During cold winters even vittrut has been found. The gulls also attract large amounts of wintering birds of prey like havsörn, Pilgrimsfalk, ormvråk, and sparvhök. If the dams are ice free smaller amounts of ducks, geese and swans can be found in the area. Around Gärstadverken there are smaller amounts of wasteland enjoyed by birds during winter and alte autumn. Rare birds like bofink (rare in winter), hämpling (rare in winter), vinterhämpling, dvärgbeckasin and svart rödstjärt have been found along with many more common wintering birds. Along with the gulls large amounts of crows also winter in the area. Most numerous are gråkråka, korp and kaja.
During sping most of the fiskmås and skrattmås return to Gärstadverken. Rarer gulls like silltrut, and kaspisk trut are also found during this period. Early spring birds are also often found here first like stare, sånglärka, tofsvipa, and ringduva. The fields around Gärstadverken are also often filled with geese and swans during this period. When the dams open up most dabbling ducks common in the area can be found.
Gärstadverken is a quite surprisingly good location for wading birds. With rödbena, strandskata, and ljungpipare being common. During autumn even some arctic waders can be found.
During summer skäggdopping, Smådopping, mindre strandpipare, svarthakedopping and svarthalsad dopping, who arrive in spring, all breed in the many dams in the area. svarthalsad dopping is extremely rare (only breeds in one other area in Sweden since it recently disappeared from Skåne) and might have left this location for good since it wasn't found in 2022.
During autumn gulls are most numerous. Thousands of fiskmås and Gråtrut. Although they often venture into lake Roxen. Here kaspisk trut is relativley numerous, and medelhavstrut can be found. Other rare gulls like tretåig mås (very rare) and dvärgmås can also be seen.
