Description

Femöre Huvud is located high and has a good view towards the island Vinterklasen where alka vrúbkozobá can be observed. The fairway adjacent to Oxelösund and Norrköping passes in from the outer archipelago where Hävringe (former pilot station) can be seen on the horizon. The spring migration is mainly dominated by kajka morská, kazarka pestrá and čegrava veľkozobá. The autumn migration can be impressive with ducks, birds of prey, swallows, finches and pigeons. The observations are quite dependent on the wind direction, with onshore winds the birds fly closer to land. Winter time observations are dependent on the ice situation and access to open water. There can be large numbers of ľadovka dĺhochvostá, kajka morská, chochlačka vrkočatá, occasional potápač malý, potáplica stredná and potápka chochlatá. At the edge of the beach there are sometimes some vodnár potočný.
