Tekstboks: Follow the Norwegian birding route and it will take you to some of the best birding localities in Western Norway. The scenery is breathtaking and provides a great backdrop for some great birding. To help you find some of the more interesting birding localities we will supply you with a small bird watching guide when you book your accommodation. This will be in the form of a Word document, and will be sent to your e-mail address. To get this information just send an e-mail by clicking on the link below. Don’t forget to let us know what farms you are visiting, or if you are making the round trip. The guide will provide detailed information on how to get to the best birding sites with maps and notes on what species you can look for. In the meantime read what bird watcher Brian Unwin has to say about the journey by clicking “The Journey” button at the top of the menu.

One of the biggest disadvantages of birding in a new area is finding information about the best localities and what species can be expected to be found. To make things easy, we supply information when you book your accommodation. Here you will find directions, maps and species lists of some of the birds that can be expected to be found during spring, summer and autumn.

Tekstboks: Black-throated Diver
The Black-throated Diver can be found both at coastal sites as well as inland lakes along the Norwegian Birding Route. May is a good time to look for them, by then they are heading for their mountain breeding areas. The species is  territorial, but in good breeding areas it is possible to find several pairs sharing the same lake. The estimated Norwegian breeding population is between 5000 and 10000 birds.
