Description
Migrating birds (mostly waterfowl) can be found seen from Ekudden. Especially in autumn (September/Oktober). Then Thousands of Apácalúd, Örvös lúd, Fütyülő réce and Pehelyréce have been seen. Hundreds of Csörgo réce, Nyílfarkú réce, Fekete réce and Füstös réce have been migrating during the right weather.
On the Cobs around Kvädö large colonies of Kárókatona, Sarki csér, Küszvágó csér, Viharsirály and Dankasirály. There is also one of the few colonies of Lócsér 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 Tengeri partfutó.
The open sea next to Ekudden is often open and holds large amounts of wintering Nagy bukó, jegesréce and Kerceréce. Smaller amounts of wintering Fekete réce, Örvös bukó, Bütykös ásólúd and Búbos vöcsök can be found. During late autumn and winter large amounts (at most 3500) of Kerceréce and Kontyos réce winter at Licknewarpsfjärden. Kis bukó, is found up until April but is most common in early December. Smaller amounts of dabbling ducks (Kendermagos réce, Fütyülő réce and Csörgo réce) and Barátréce also winter in the bays. The large area of forests bring wintering Szirti sas, Héja and Karvaly. The fields often hold wintering Egerészölyv, and cobs Rétisas.
During spring resting loons have been seen. Passerine birds sometimes rest at Ekudden. Rare birds like Kékbegy (northern subsp), Házi rozsdafarkú, and Nagy pirók have been seen. Grebes have been seen resting during the spring (Vörösnyakú vöcsök, Búbos vöcsök (most common), and Füles vöcsök) are often found.
