Descripción

Because the island is an important autumn migration stopover the bird observatory "Stora Fjäderägg" was created and is active both during the spring and autumn season on the island. By joining the ringing/banding you will get the best oppurtunity to see most birds and up close as well. If you want to join the ringing you can go to the link down below. If you don't want to join the ringing there is also a small youth hostel on the island where you can stay with the link also down below.

The island itself is small with a central asphalted road going from the harbour to the housing area. You can also go offroad but have to be careful where you walk as some areas are rocky or wet. Bringing boots is recommended.

On the island there is a good possibility to find north scandinavian birds. During early September Escribano Rústico, Escribano Lapón, Ruiseñor Pechiazul and Bisbita Gorgirrojo pass the island. In late September Pico tridáctilo, Piquitureto Común and Piquituerto Lorito arrive on the island. All through October Ampelis Europeo and Mito Común are often flying around. Throughout the autumn season Mochuelo Boreal is fairly common with rarer but annual observations of Cárabo Gavilán and Mochuelo Alpino. Rarities that are seen most years are Mosquitero Bilistado, Mosquitero de Pallas, Escribano Pigmeo and Ruiseñor Coliazul. There is also a small group of Gallo lira común living on the island.

As the island is located in the middle of the northern Baltic there is also a good possibility to find sea birds, but for this you need to bring a scope. Species seen are Pigargo Europeo, Págalo Parásito, Negrón especulado, Pato Havelda and Arao Aliblanco. In case you are also a mammal enthusiast there are Ringed seals basking on the shorelines.
