Beschrijving

First things first, it is complicated and quite expensive to get to Utklippan. Finally there ( its a one hour boat ride) it is tricky to find accomodations outside summer and tourist season (a hostel) . There are facilities at the banding station but its reserved for the personel. So, to be there in the most interesting time of year you more or less have to be a part of the crew at the bandingstation.

With that sorted Utklippan is an exiting island where anything can happen. The site is good to observe the migration of seafowl and, in good weather conditions, a lot of passerines rest there. Its location far out in the Baltic Sea implies that the island is the first or last stop for migrating birds, a magnet for rarities. Over the years exiting species as Wilgengors, Zwartkopgors, Grijze Gors, Citroenkwikstaart, Alpenheggenmus, Bergheggenmus, Woestijntapuit, Perzische Roodborst, Roze Spreeuw, Baardgrasmus, Kleine Zwartkop and Raddes Boszanger have been banded.

The breeding birds of the islands are more scarce: Eider, Kleine Mantelmeeuw, Zwarte Zeekoet and a colony of Alk. Utklippan consist of two small islands, Södraskär and Norraskär. On the south is the banding station and the hostel, on the north the harbour. S of Södra skär is a big cliff, Degerhuvud, where the Alk can be seen.
