Rate birdingplace Stora Amundön
Description
Stora Amundön offers varied birding with fine salt marshes, oak groves and shallow bays. In spring and autumn, the salt marshes by the canal between the mainland are worth a visit. Λασποσκαλίδρα, Λασπότρυγγας and Πρασινοσκέλης are often seen. Θαλασσολιμόζα, Μαυρότρυγγας, Σταχτιά Νανοσκαλίδρα and (Κοινή) Νανοσκαλίδρα can be seen with a little luck. Some geese, ducks and seals can also be found on the salt marshes.
If you go further out on the island, it is worth scouting out flocks of ducks in shallow bays around with (Ευρωπαϊκή) Βουκεφάλα and Μαυροκέφαλη Πάπια in winter. In summer, nice birdsongs can be heard in the oak groves. Rarities that have been seen in Stora Amundön include (Κοινός) Λευκοτσικνιάς, Greater Yellowlegs, Ωχροσταχτάρα, White-billed Diver, Παγοβούτι and Διπλοκελάδα.
