Description
Migrating birds (mostly waterfowl) can be found seen from Ekudden. Especially in autumn (September/Oktober). Then Thousands of Barnacle Goose, Δαχτυλιδόχηνα, (Ευρωπαϊκό) Σφυριχτάρι and (Κοινή) Πουπουλόπαπια have been seen. Hundreds of (Ευρωπαϊκό) Κιρκίρι, Ψαλίδα (του Βορά), (Ευρωπαϊκή) Μαυρόπαπια and Βελουδόπαπια have been migrating during the right weather.
On the Cobs around Kvädö large colonies of (Ευρωπαϊκός) Κορμοράνος, Χιονογλάρονο, Ποταμογλάρονο, Θυελλόγλαρος and Καστανοκέφαλος Γλάρος. There is also one of the few colonies of Καρατζάς in Sweden at Röskären. If the weather is harsh, arctic waders sometimes stop on the cobs. The cobs are also one of the best wintering areas for Βραχοσκαλίδρα.
The open sea next to Ekudden is often open and holds large amounts of wintering Χηνοπρίστης, Χιονόπαπια and (Ευρωπαϊκή) Βουκεφάλα. Smaller amounts of wintering (Ευρωπαϊκή) Μαυρόπαπια, Θαλασσοπρίστης, Βαρβάρα and Σκουφοβουτηχτάρι can be found. During late autumn and winter large amounts (at most 3500) of (Ευρωπαϊκή) Βουκεφάλα and Μαυροκέφαλη Πάπια winter at Licknewarpsfjärden. Νανοπρίστης, is found up until April but is most common in early December. Smaller amounts of dabbling ducks (Καπακλής, (Ευρωπαϊκό) Σφυριχτάρι and (Ευρωπαϊκό) Κιρκίρι) and Γκισάρι also winter in the bays. The large area of forests bring wintering Χρυσαετός, Διπλοσάϊνο and (Κοινό) Ξεφτέρι. The fields often hold wintering (Κοινή) Γερακίνα, and cobs (Ευρωπαϊκός) Θαλασσαετός.
During spring resting loons have been seen. Passerine birds sometimes rest at Ekudden. Rare birds like Γαλαζολαίμης (northern subsp), Καρβουνιάρης, and Pine Grosbeak have been seen. Grebes have been seen resting during the spring (Κοκκινοβουτηχτάρι, Σκουφοβουτηχτάρι (most common), and Χειμωνοβουτηχτάρι) are often found.
