Description

From Stora Rör Hamn you have a perfect view of the strait between Öland and the mainland. The strait is a natural migration route for south- and north-bound seabirds. In both autumn and spring, tens of thousands of kajka mořská pass through, often at close range and in large flocks. Other common migratory birds are turpan hnědý, turpan černý, morčák prostřední, potáplice malá and potáplice severní. From August to October, some chaluha malá, chaluha pomořanská, and chaluha příživná also pass south. The best migration is in spring with southwesterly winds, and in autumn with northerly winds.
