Description

Lonåsen is a small village in Tunndalen, at the confluence of the rivers Tunna and Lona, about 13 kilometers northwest of the town of Tynset. The village is surrounded by forest and tundra. I stayed here for a month in the winter months of December and January. I regularly saw woodpecker species such as Veliki detlić but also Troprsti detlić and Siva žuna. In addition, Grouse such as Alpska snežnica, Ruševac and Veliki tetreb. Finch species such as the Batokljun and Zimovka. Furthermore, many Brgljez, Planinska siva senica, Zelentarka, Brezova juričica, Jelova senica, Kraljić, Gavran and Poljski vrabac.
