Descrizione

On the island Eknön 204 bird species have been recorded. On the island you can find large amounts of passerine birds like Luì grosso, Scricciolo, Cincia bigia, Luì verde and Fringuello. Among these it is not uncommon to find rarer species like Luì verdastro, Locustella fluviatile, Rigogolo, Balia dal collare (has nested on the island) and Pigliamosche pettirosso. As the island is scarcley visited it is unclear if these are regular or not.

On the coastal meadows waders are often found like Combattente, Pettegola, Pantana and Corriere grosso. Dabbling ducks often feed around in the shallow waters and on the meadows. Airone bianco maggiore is a regular bird on the island. The coastal meadows also attracts large amounts of Cigno selvatico, and dabbling ducks. Large amounts of Alzavola, Canapiglia, and Fischione use them as resting grounds. Along with smaller concentrations of Mestolone, Marzaiola, and Codone.

In the winter thousands of Moretta (as many as 5000) and Smergo maggiore can be seen feeding. With them often less regular birds like Pesciaiola and Moretta grigia. In the reed beds Basettino, Cannareccione, Forapaglie comune, Cannaiola, Migliarino di palude and Tarabuso can be found.

Dettagli

Accesso

Eknön Nature Reserve is only accessible by private boat. It's pretty shallow waters around the island and few natural landing sites so a smaller boat or kayak is recommended. At Skansudden next to Ettersundet there is an information board with signs about the area's peculiar nature and the regulations that apply in the reserve. Further information can be found on a bulletin board about the middle of the island adjacent to the large beach meadow.

The whole of Eknön is well worth a visit but there are no facilities for outdoor recreation. Please note that the whole island is claimed with grazing animals. Avoid disturbing the grazing animals and keep safe distances to avoid incidents.
