Description
Migrating birds (mostly waterfowl) can be found seen from Ekudden. Especially in autumn (September/Oktober). Then Thousands of Казарка білощока, Казарка чорна, Свищ євразійський and Пухівка зеленошия have been seen. Hundreds of Чирянка мала, Шилохвіст, Синьга and Турпан have been migrating during the right weather.
On the Cobs around Kvädö large colonies of Баклан великий, Крячок полярний, Крячок річковий, Мартин сивий and Мартин звичайний. There is also one of the few colonies of Крячок каспійський 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 Побережник морський.
The open sea next to Ekudden is often open and holds large amounts of wintering Крех великий, Морянка and Гоголь зеленоголовий. Smaller amounts of wintering Синьга, Крех середній, Галагаз євразійський and Пірникоза велика can be found. During late autumn and winter large amounts (at most 3500) of Гоголь зеленоголовий and Чернь чубата winter at Licknewarpsfjärden. Крех малий, is found up until April but is most common in early December. Smaller amounts of dabbling ducks (Нерозень, Свищ євразійський and Чирянка мала) and Попелюх звичайний also winter in the bays. The large area of forests bring wintering Беркут, Яструб великий and Яструб малий. The fields often hold wintering Канюк звичайний, and cobs Орлан-білохвіст.
During spring resting loons have been seen. Passerine birds sometimes rest at Ekudden. Rare birds like Синьошийка (northern subsp), Горихвістка чорна, and Смеречник тайговий have been seen. Grebes have been seen resting during the spring (Пірникоза сірощока, Пірникоза велика (most common), and Пірникоза червоношия) are often found.
