VARANGER TRIP

We spent last July on the Varanger Peninsula in northern Norway. It's a wonderland for birds, especially waders and seabirds. Our favourites were: the four Diver species, three Eider species (Common, Steller's and King), the three sawbills (Smew, R.B. Merg and Goosander, all breeding), Whoopers with young, Snow and Lapland Buntings, Shore Larks, Hawk Owl, Long Tailed Ducks, Temminck's Stint, hundreds of Red Necked Phalarope, Long Tailed Skua, Rough Legged Buzzard, Sea Eagle and countless other goodies. We saw a total of 143 species. An unforgettable trip.
