Finding Birds in Lapland

Dave Gosney writes:

‘Varanger fjord is one of the most exciting and popular birding destinations in Europe and yet, until now, there has never been a book that describes exactly where to find its best birds. With this book you will stand a much better chance of finding the rarer species and locating the best places for taking really good photos of the birds, not just in Arctic Norway but also in those parts of Finland north of the Arctic Circle’

Unique features

Compared to other publications covering the same area, this one:

• Provides the most detailed maps - so you can easily find your way to the best bits of woodland, tundra or shoreline
• Includes GPS co-ordinates to help you find the right turnings, parking spaces or viewing points
• Highlights the best areas only - and summarises the key attraction in the first paragraph so you can easily decide whether to read on or bother to visit the site
• Has a map on the inside cover which serves as an index so you can easily find any site in the book
• Is light and portable (and cheap)
• Is updated via this website (which includes photos of many sites)
• Is complemented by a DVD showing you exactly what it’s like to og birding in many of these sites
