Eurasian Wigeon Anas penelope
Occurs annually. Mainly individuals, pairs or smaller groups from the end of April until September. The species has been observed almost annually in the lower part of Adventdalen. Breeding is not confirmed, but breeding attempts have most likely been done. A few observations during autumn are made, and in November-December (the dark season) 2004, one individual was regularly seen in Longyearbyen.
