The numbers of birds migrating over Falsterbo has been counted (monitored) under standardised form since 1973 as a part of the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency environmental surveillance. This allows us to form a picture of long term trends. There are more species that are increasing than there are that are decreasing.

Mattias Ullman has been a birdwatcher for more than 30 years. He has been in charge of migration counting in Falsterbo since 2021. He also works on BirdLife Sweden’s Southern Dunlin Project.
