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 haahka here on the coast. Here and there a kyhmyhaahka, ristisorsa, and alli. In addition you can observe birds like etelänkiisla, riskilä, tukkakoskelo and regularly merikotka.

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.
