Sandön Tern Colony Cam
OnlineA protected tern and wader colony nests among the restored dunes of Sandön, a small sandbar reserve on the shores of Skälderviken bay. Ground-nesting terns, oystercatchers and plovers raise their young here, sheltered by fencing and careful habitat management.
The camera offers a rare, unobtrusive window onto this fragile shorebird sanctuary without disturbing its nesting residents.
About This Webcam
Everything you need to know about this live stream
A Restored Nesting Ground
Sandön is a low sandbar island reshaped by habitat restoration work, where volunteers cleared beach grass and reed to recreate the open, sandy terrain that ground-nesting shorebirds need to breed successfully.
Life Among the Dunes
The fenced colony hosts terns, oystercatchers and ringed plovers, each species finding its own patch of shell-strewn sand or sparse vegetation for a nest scrape.
On the Shores of Skälderviken
The reserve sits at the southeastern edge of Skälderviken bay, where open water meets dune grasses and scattered wildflowers along the Scanian coastline.
A Community Conservation Effort
Local birdwatchers maintain the site and its predator-proof fencing, watching over the colony through the webcam so the birds can nest with minimal human disturbance.
