Descrizione
Galterö is one of the outer islands of the southern Gothenburg archipelago with beautiful views of the neighbouring islands and the open sea. The island is remote and gives the impression of wilderness, but it can be easily reached from the mainland by the regular passenger ferry. The beach meadows of the almost untouched island are a reservoir for numerous endangered plant species, fungi and insects as well as breeding grounds for numerous bird species. Ducks and waders, birds of prey and small birds nest and breed here. During the summer months sheep graze on the meadows to maintain their typical character and to keep them free of scrubs.
During the breeding season Oca facciabianca, Pispola, Beccaccia di mare and other species common to the archipelago are seen. If you are lucky, you can also see Starna. The island is of great interest for waders during the summer and autumn migration when the sandy and muddy lagoons become nice rest areas. Pivieressa, Pittima minore, Piovanello comune, Piovanello maggiore and mainly Piovanello pancianera can be seen very nicely. Rare birds that have been observed are Piviere americano, Edredone di Steller, Girfalco and more. The area is usually also good for Beccapesci during the summer.
