On the Cobs around Kvädö large colonies of merimetso, lapintiira, kalatiira, kalalokki and naurulokki. There is also one of the few colonies of räyskä 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 merisirri.

Smaller amounts of wintering mustalintu, tukkakoskelo, ristisorsa and silkkiuikku can be found. During late autumn and winter large amounts (at most 3500) of telkkä and tukkasotka winter at Licknewarpsfjärden. uivelo, is found up until April but is most common in early December. Smaller amounts of dabbling ducks (harmaasorsa, haapana and tavi) and punasotka also winter in the bays. The large area of forests bring wintering maakotka, kanahaukka and varpushaukka. The fields often hold wintering hiirihaukka, and cobs merikotka.
