Easily accessible birding area with salt marshes, oak forest and shallow bays. Worth a visit all year round even though spring and autumn are best.
Stora Amundön offers varied birding with fine salt marshes, oak groves and shallow bays. In spring and autumn, the salt marshes by the canal between the mainland are worth a visit. Havasi partfutó, Réti cankó and Szürke cankó are often seen. Kis goda, Füstös cankó, Temminck-partfutó and Apró partfutó can be seen with a little luck. Some geese, ducks and seals can also be found on the salt marshes.
If you go further out on the island, it is worth scouting out flocks of ducks in shallow bays around with Kerceréce and Kontyos réce in winter. In summer, nice birdsongs can be heard in the oak groves. Rarities that have been seen in Stora Amundön include Kis kócsag, mocsári cankó, Halvány sarlósfecske, Fehércsőrű búvár, Jeges búvár and Sarkantyús pityer.
