Birdwatching Slettnes (Slettnes lighthouse)

Slettnes is situated at the tip of a peninsula that shoots out into the Barents Sea. It is considered to be one of the best – if not the best – site in Europe for migrating arctic ducks, divers, skuas, gulls and terns in spring and autumn. On the best days, notable species such as King Eider, White-billed Diver, Glaucous Gull and Long-tailed Skua pass in the hundreds and Pomarine Skua in the thousands.
