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 Common Eider here on the coast. Here and there a King Eider, Common Shelduck, and Long-tailed Duck. In addition you can observe birds like Common Guillemot, Black Guillemot, Red-breasted Merganser and regularly White-tailed Eagle.

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.
