The region of Finnmark – with its location at high latitude and towards the Arctic – is a well-known destination for birders from all over the world. Geographical position, vast areas of untouched nature and the larder of the Barents Sea result in a busy and rich birdlife, thus giving birdwatchers plenty of opportunities to observe rare species.
Also the coast and the surroundings of Berlevåg and Kongsfjord can offer exciting experiences to the birders in many periods of the year:
- Wintering arctic seabirds
- Migratory birds on the move from/to far habitats like Spitzbergen or Siberia
- Shorebirds breeding on the fells
- Seabirds breeding along the shore or in the bird-reserve of Heløy, Kongsøy and Skarvholmen near Kongsfjord
