Birds on Gotska Sandön

Species List : Red Knot Calidris canutus

Migrating birds most often seen scarcely in late May, in early June and in July and onwards. If weather permits large flocks can bee seen during spring migration. On the 4th of June 2004 there was a mild southerly wind, the air was clear and the sky was blue apart from clouds in the west, making the discovery of wader flocks easier. This day a total of 1130 Great Knots migrated past Bredsandsudde and the single largest flock contained 450 birds.
