Species List : Spotted Flycatcher Muscicapa striata
There is little doubt the Spotted Flycatcher is the most numerous breeding bird on Gotska Sandön, apparently well fit for the extremly dry pine forest. The Spotted Flycatcher is common also on migration, especially in spring in May and early June. Normally a strictly nocturnal migrant it can often be seen on Bredsandsudde migrating in full daylight in hundreds, most often at a considerable elevation.
First record:
- June 1867 (Holtz 1868)
