Eagle Watching / Bird Watching In Norway

Eagle by CH - VisitNorway

Why Bird Watching Is Popular In Norway

There are two reasons why Norway is immensely popular as a bird watching zone with people from all over the world: the first and more obvious reason is that there are numerous species of birds that fly into Norway every year, especially during the summer season. Most of these birds migrate to warmer parts when the winter sets in, but during the summers, one can see a number of species and varieties of birds in Norway. The second reason why bird watching is popular in Norway is that the land is so picturesque and breathtaking on the whole, that it provides the ideal landscape and setting for a nature related hobby such as bird watching. Whether you are simply interested in sighting birds and listing them, or even if you like to take photographs of them, the stunning backdrop will add to the experience. Even though many of the birds one will see can be described as ‘common’ by Norwegian standards, for visitors from other parts of the world these too will be unique and exotic.

Places To Go Bird Watching In Norway

One of the popular destinations for bird watchers in Norway is Valldal. This place happens to be a farming valley that is located in Norddal. The region has a mixture of landscapes, with high mountains and cultivated farmlands accompanied by some woody areas and a river. The mixture of different types of topography and landscape has attracted a number of species of birds through the years to the region, most of which live in the trees.

The Hooded Crow, which is present in almost every part of Norway, is rather popular here as well. One can also see numerous White Wagtails and Yellowhammers. There is a good chance that you will see the many varieties of Tits that populate this region, ranging from the Blue Tits to the Great Tits and Willow Tits that are generally found near the fruit trees. One can also see Eurasian Bullfinches and Greenfinches from time to time. Over the fjord areas one can often spot eagles flying far into the sky. These are generally the White tailed variety.

The nature reserve called Åkersvika in the Hamar region, along with another nature reserve called Fornebu, which has been built in the place where Oslo’s erstwhile primary airport used to be located, are also good spots to head to for bird watching and eagle watching in Norway.

Handy Tips For Bird Watching In Norway

To begin with, spend some time on a website or two dedicated to bird watching in Norway. This way you will be able to learn of the best spots, the best times and seasons in the year, and about important details such as climatic conditions, accommodation and so on.

Next, invest in a reliable guide book which lists the names of the birds in English and Norwegian. Knowing the native names of the birds can be of great use when you interact with the local people and try to seek their help in identifying or locating a particular species.
