Beskrivning
Ölstadsjön is a nature reserve and one of the best sites for dabbling ducks in the municipality of Finspång. Although not nearly as good as the sites on the Östgöta plain årta, Kricka, gräsand, bläsand and Skedand have all been sighted. The lake has a quite restricted area of open water so the amounts are often lacking. Other common ducks of the diving kind have also been observed. The lake was once known for its population of breeding svarthakedopping, and even svarthalsad dopping although they are both now gone. Around the lake relatively large amounts of geese often rest all seasons except winter. Most common are vitkindad gås, kanadagås and grågås, although bläsgås also have been sighted. ägretthäger has been sighted and gråhäger is common.
The area around Ölstadsjön is rich in birds of prey with wetland birds like brun kärrhök, ormvråk, fjällvråk, havsörn, and blå kärrhök often beein observed along with visitors from the forest like sparvhök, duvhök and Fiskgjuse.
On the field sånglärka, skogssnäppa, steglits, stare tofsvipa, ängspiplärka and hämpling are often seen. Even vaktel has been heard. In the lake some gulls and tern are often sighted.
In the reeds vattenrall, Sävsparv, rördrom (not often), sävsångare, and rörsångare are observed.
