Bøyaøyri nature reserve
PHOTO GALLERY
Altogether, 100 different bird species have been observed at the Bøyaøyri . 40-50 of these species are directly or indirectly dependent on wetlands, for example for breeding, finding food etc. Such species are Common Heron, Mallard, Common Teal, Eurasian Wigeon, European Oystercatcher, Purple Sandpiper, Dunlin and Ruff. Other species, such as European Starling, White Wagtail, Fieldfare, Redwing and Meadow Pipit are attracted by the wetlands, but are nesting in the adjacent areas.
The Bøyaøyri is of special importance for waterfowl and waders, first and foremost as a resting area during the migration period, but also as a wintering area. In spring and autumn, during the migration period, there can be numerous individuals of duck species like Mallard, Teal and Wigeon. In addition, Scaup, Common Scoter, Tufted Duck, Goldeneye and the rare species Common Pochard can be observed. Mallard, Teal and Red-brested merganser are nesting in the nature reserve.
The most common waders during the migration period are Oystercatcher, Lapwing, and Redshank, together with species like Curlew, Wood Sandpiper, Golden Plover and Snipe. Many of the waders stay at the Bøyaøyri only for a short time in spring and autumn, during migration, whereas Oystercatcher, Lapwing, Redshank, Common Sandpiper and Snipe nest in the nature reserve.
