Description
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. Dunlin, Wood Sandpiper and Common Greenshank are often seen. Bar-tailed Godwit, Spotted Redshank, Temminck's Stint and Little Stint 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 Common Goldeneye and Tufted Duck in winter. In summer, nice birdsongs can be heard in the oak groves. Rarities that have been seen in Stora Amundön include Little Egret, Greater Yellowlegs, Pallid Swift, White-billed Diver, Great Northern Diver and Richard's Pipit.
