Description

Örö is a small fortress island in Southwest Finland that covers about 2.2 square kilometers with a coastline of around 11 kilometers. For more than a century it was a closed military base, but since 2015 it has been open to the public. The southern and northern tips of the island are very good for watching bird migration. Storviken (1) gathers waders and waterfowl, Balget (2) attracts waterfowl, gulls and terns. Many rarities have been found on the island's central heath (3), groves and other habitats.
