The World Birding Website

Europe/Norway

Although one of Europe's smallest countries, taking into account every fjord and island it has an amazing 12,500 miles of coastline that support significant numbers of White-tailed Eagles. Conifer and birch forests support such delights as Tengmalm's Owl, White-backed Woodpecker and Siberian Jay. But the greater part of the country is beyond the treeline and considered an arctic region. Here birders can search for Snowy Owl and Long-tailed Skua. In the far north, Little Auks, Brunnich's Guillemots are common whilst Ivory, Glaucous and Sabine's Gull can be found in and around Spitsbergen.
