Since the 17th century, Ut\u00f6 has been a base for pilots, lighthouse personnel, the customs and soldiers. The rough beauty of these wind-beaten islets is always an experience for the visitor. The sea, a paradise for boating in good weather, shows its strong power during autumn and winter storms. Due to a number of shipwrecks, these waters are often called the burial ground of ships.<\/p><p>Ut\u00f6 is located at the northern edge of the Baltic Sea, about 80 kms southwest of the city of Turku. The distance to the Swedish island of Gotland is about 220 kms and to the Estonian island of Hiiumaa about 100 kms. Ut\u00f6 island is quite small, only about 1.5 x 2 kms, meaning for example that large groups of birdwatchers &amp; other tourists easily cause disturbance in case the guidelines set by the BirdLife Finland and the Turku Ornithological Society are ignored.<\/p><p>Under the Russian governance (1809 \u2013 1917), the number of pilots and lighthouse keepers was raised and the number of inhabitants went up to 129, in 22 households. There was also a small customs house established on Ut\u00f6. During the First World War the village underwent great changes. The Russians tore down many houses and built some new ones, and also made a cobblestone street with rails for transporting ammunition. These rails do not exist anymore.The Russian soldiers left Ut\u00f6 in 1918, but the presence of the Finnish army, particularly after the war, continued to characterize the life on Ut\u00f6. The village life, busy in the summer when the descendants of the islanders come here for holidays, settles down for the winter. At the end of the year 2005 the military withdrew from the island. The apartments are today owned by the islanders and some of them have been rented to new inhabitants. The garrison is currently used as a hotel called \u201dUt\u00f6 Havshotel\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.utohotel.fi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(www.utohotel.fi).<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3db8a08 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3db8a08\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Birding<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2196dfd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2196dfd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>When the military base was closed in 2005, many previously forbidden areas on the island became available for birding.

The island is nowadays scanned for birds for almost around year. No ringing with nets is allowed on Ut\u00f6 and Ut\u00f6 is not an official bird station in Finland.<\/p><p>For birders it is customary to gather at the Pilot House or the lighthouse in the mornings to watch migrating seabirds, followed by searching for resting migratory birds in bushes, fields and shorelines. Special attention is paid not to cause any disturbance to the local people at the village area.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1869d7f e-grid e-con-full e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1869d7f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a9f8b8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4a9f8b8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jtenovuo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/kylamaisema-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-30132\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jtenovuo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/kylamaisema-1.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.jtenovuo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/kylamaisema-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Light house, the oldest in Finland, and the yellow Pilot house up on the hill.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9880d08 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9880d08\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jtenovuo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/birdscv2-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-30134\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jtenovuo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/birdscv2-1.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.jtenovuo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/birdscv2-1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Birdwatchers at the Pilot house<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3156fe2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3156fe2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jtenovuo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/itaniitty.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-30136\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jtenovuo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/itaniitty.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.jtenovuo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/itaniitty-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Eastern meadow with surrounding bushes is an excellent area for birds<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-53f40e5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"53f40e5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Birdlife<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ff438a2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ff438a2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Breeding species<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f4bf967 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f4bf967\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Annually about 40-50 species breed on the island or in its close vicinity.
