Easily accessible birding area with salt marshes, oak forest and shallow bays. Worth a visit all year round even though spring and autumn are best.
Stora Amundön offers varied birding with fine salt marshes, oak groves and shallow bays. In spring and autumn, the salt marshes by the canal between the mainland are worth a visit. Fugaci de țărm, Fluierar de mlaștină and Fluierar cu picioare verzi are often seen. Sitar de mal nordic, Fluierar negru, Fugaci pitic and Fugaci mic can be seen with a little luck. Some geese, ducks and seals can also be found on the salt marshes.
If you go further out on the island, it is worth scouting out flocks of ducks in shallow bays around with Rață sunătoare and Rață moțată in winter. In summer, nice birdsongs can be heard in the oak groves. Rarities that have been seen in Stora Amundön include Egretă mică, Fluierar mare cu picioare galbene, Drepnea palidă, Cufundar cu cioc alb, Cufundar mare and Fâsa lui Richard.
