Birds in August<\/h2>\n

Although many waders and some Old World Warblers have already left the country, August is the month when autumn starts in earnest in the world of birds. Many small birds are now leaving the island, but then they move at night, this migration passes a bit unnoticed. During the day, one can notice that migration time is on its way, as sometimes large flocks of Western Yellow Wagtails is seen foraging on the meadows and the Tree Pipits calling sound often heard over the heads of us. Large flocks of Barn Swallows are also gathered in the reeds around the wetlands in the evenings.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]\"Gul\u00e4rla,<\/a>Western Yellow Wagtail, \u00a9 Lars Lundmark[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]\"Roskarl,<\/a>Ruddy Turnstone, \u00a9 Lars Lundmark[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Now the Arctic Waders young birds arrives on their way south, abandoned by their hurrying parents, but with the map programmed into their genes. Young bird\u2019s costumes often differ substantially from the older birds, which can create problems for the identification. It is important to know how the common species looks, as some extremely rare waders also can pop up this time of year.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Along the coast the waders gets company of the first seabirds on their way south. Not the least noticeable is the migration of, not easy identifiable, young and old Terns that now begin their long journey toward wintering areas in the southern hemisphere.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
