Migrating birds (mostly waterfowl) can be found seen from Ekudden. Especially in autumn (September/Oktober). Then Thousands of Белощекая казарка, Чёрная казарка, Свиязь and Обыкновенная гага have been seen. Hundreds of Чирок-свистунок, Шилохвость, Синьга and Турпан have been migrating during the right weather.
On the Cobs around Kvädö large colonies of Большой баклан, Полярная крачка, Речная крачка, Сизая чайка and Озерная чайка. There is also one of the few colonies of Чеграва in Sweden at Röskären. If the weather is harsh, arctic waders sometimes stop on the cobs. The cobs are also one of the best wintering areas for Морской песочник.
The open sea next to Ekudden is often open and holds large amounts of wintering Большой крохаль, Морянка and Гоголь. Smaller amounts of wintering Синьга, Длинноносый крохаль, Пеганка and Чомга can be found. During late autumn and winter large amounts (at most 3500) of Гоголь and Хохлатая чернеть winter at Licknewarpsfjärden. Луток, is found up until April but is most common in early December. Smaller amounts of dabbling ducks (Серая утка, Свиязь and Чирок-свистунок) and Красноголовый нырок also winter in the bays. The large area of forests bring wintering Беркут, Тетеревятник and Перепелятник. The fields often hold wintering Канюк, and cobs Орлан-белохвост.
