Beschreibung
Stegeborg lies in the middle of the long bay of Slätbaken. In and around Stegeborg ca 180 bird species have been recorded. The strait at Stegeborg is ice-free almost all winters, if the temperture is not too cold the deeper parts around Stegeborg are also open. Large amounts of Reiherente, Schellente, Gänsesäger, Stockente and Bläßhuhn winter in the aera. Numbering in the hundreds sometimes in the thousands. Along with these smaller amounts of less common wintering birds like Zwergsäger, Bergente, Schnatterente, Krickente, Haubentaucher, Tafelente, Kormoran, Graureiher, Singschwan, Graugans and Kanadagans. The area is home to wintering gulls. Many Seeadler also winter here. As do passerine birds like Raubwürger, Misteldrossel, Wacholderdrossel, and Rotkehlchen.
During spring migration many dabbling ducks (Krickente, Pfeifente, Schnatterente, and Spießente), swans and geese can be found. Most common among geese are Graugans and Kanadagans. Often in the hundreds. Often a few Bläßgans, Saatgans, and Tundrasaatgans. Hundreds of Singschwan use the fields during migraton. Hundreds of Reiherente and Schellente can also be found. Eiderente can also be observed during migration. Quite a few birds of prey can be seen. Some of the more common are Rohrweihe, Mäusebussard, Fischadler and Habicht. Sometimes Hausrotschwanz can be found. Ohrentaucher and Prachttaucher often stay on the waters.
Neuntöter, Karmingimpel, Heidelerche, Grauschnäpper, Trauerschnäpper and Feldlerche all breed on the fields and forests. In the reedbeds Schilfrohrsänger, Rohrammer, and Teichrohrsänger breed. While Drosselrohrsänger and Sumpfrohrsänger are sometimes heard. Weißwangengans, Kormoran, Haubentaucher and Schnatterente breed. Heringsmöwe and Wespenbussard can sometimes be seen.
