Beschreibung
Kökar is a remote archipelago in the Åland Islands in the Baltic Sea. It’s made up of hundreds of rocky islets, with the main island home to just over 200 residents. The small archipelago island has many different habitats and attracts loads of birds, especially during migration.
During autumn migration Sperber and other birds of prey arrive in Kökar. Migratory songbirds arrive in big flocks. A bird you can't miss all year round is Seeadler. Other birds you can observe include Eisente, Mittelsäger, Eiderente, Schellente, Tordalk, Gryllteiste, Kormoran, Austernfischer, Meerstrandläufer, and several species of gulls and terns. Rarities that have been spotted include Gelbbrauen-Laubsänger and Spornpieper.

Zugang
There is a ferry connection to Kökar all year round from Korpo, Galtby and Långnäs, Åland. It is always wise to book the ferries in advance. A major road leads across the island, otherwise there is a good road network. There are several options for accommodation on the island.
Six platforms have been set up for birdwatching. Most of them are accessible to people with disabilities. On the platforms there are signs with pictures of the most common birds that move in the area during different seasons. Kökar has a network of hiking trails that take you to nice places for birding.
