Stockviken

Stockviken is one of the best birding areas on Gotland. It has two different areas: an inland lake ("inre") with a watchtower and a bay ("ytre"). You can see ducks, geese, Codalb, Pietrar sur, terns, reedbirds and waders. Many rare species have been seen here over the years. The area's nesting birds include waders such as Fluierar cu picioare roșii, Scoicar, Bătăuș, Culic mare, Sitar de mal, Ciocîntors and Fugaci de țărm, but also other species such as Chiră mică, Pescăriță mare and Chiră polară. Especially in spring – from early April to mid-May – but also during autumn – mainly in October – thousands of Gâscă călugăriță can be seen in the area.
