Description

The entire coastline in Nord-Troms is attractive for birdwatching. For example, the coast of the island of Kågen. The island is connected to the mainland by a bridge, so it is easily accessible. Along this coast you can see many beautiful birds in spring. On a clear day with little wind you can continuously enjoy large groups of Пухівка зеленошия here on the coast. Here and there a Пухівка горбатодзьоба, Галагаз євразійський, and Морянка. In addition you can observe birds like Кайра тонкодзьоба, Чистун арктичний, Крех середній and regularly Орлан-білохвіст.

Access

Kågen lies between the Kvænangen fjord (to the east) and the Lyngen fjord to the west. Drive the coastal road in this region on a clear day with little wind and these birds are unmissable in early spring.
