Descrição
One of Gotland's best bird premises, an area with a rich, grazing flora and a peculiar landscape. Närsholmen is a low-lying, flat peninsula that is largely made up of ramparts of beach gravel. The area has been used as pasture for a long time, and much of Närsholmen has the character of a savanna. On the southern part of the peninsula there are some larger groves of planted pines. On Närsholmen's well-grazed shore meadows there is for much of the year a rich bird life. Nesting birds include Abibe-comum, Ostraceiro, Perna-vermelha-comum, Borrelho-grande-de-coleira, Maçarico-real, Alfaiate, Gaivota-parda and Andorinha-do-mar-árctica. In spring and autumn, large flocks of Ganso-de-faces-brancas and many different species of waders can be found on Närsholmen's shallow beaches. In winter there are often large flocks of Pato-branco as well as a lot of Merganso-pequeno in the bays north and south of Närsholmen. Águia-rabalva can be seen all year round.
Närsholmen is also known for the rarities that show up each year. Birds like Eider de Steller, Perdiz-do-mar-d'asa-preta, Batuirucu, Chasco-do-deserto, Estrelinha de Pallas and Felosa-listada de Hume have been seen here.
In the pine groove by the parking lot there are often resting passarines – including these really rare visitors – during spring and autumn.
