Bird watching IN NORWAY

Male Common Goldeneye

Nordland is by far the longest county in Norway, stretching more than four hundred miles, most of them north of the Arctic Circle. At it's narrowest the distance between the sea and the Swedish border is only three miles. The biggest island group is the Lofoten and Vesterålen islands in the northern part. The name is a reminder from times when "Nordlandene" - The Northern Lands - was used as a description of the three northern counties. With its hundreds of islands the county of Nordland is the home of one of Norway's most famous. Lofoten needs no presentation. The home of thousands of seabirds, the islands are visited by birders from all over the world. For more information click on the Røst button. Other good sites will be added in the near future.  Below you will find some of the latest observations from the county
