Description

Great way to experience the birds of the Finnish archipelago. Jurmo is one of the few places in Finland where Sterne naine breed. The breeding species also include Fauvette épervière and the southern subspecies of Bécasseau variable, as well as great numbers of more common species. Therefore, keep in mind that the western side of the island is restricted during breeding season.

The habitat is very variable, from lush forests to sandy beaches and open sea. The island attracts lots of migrating birds – it's possible to see thousands of insectivores such as Rougegorge familier, Roitelet huppé and different warblers feeding on the island. Also a variety of rarities has been seen. For example, some Gobemouche à collier are observed every spring, and Jurmo is one of the few places in Europe to have Accenteur alpin, Accenteur montanelle and Accenteur à gorge noire on the sightings list. In autumn and winter Jurmo is also one of the best places in Finland to see Bécasseau violet, often by the hundreds, as well as Alouette haussecol and Bruant des neiges. A total of 318 species have been seen on the island.

Jurmo bird observatory is located on the island. The breeding and migrating birds are monitored year-round on the observatory by volunteers. Daily activities include standardized migration watch, routes and ringing with mist nests. More than 300,000 birds have been ringed since 1962.
