SHORT SUMMARY:

This was really a family summerholiday trip flavored with some birding. No exact counts, just trying to keep track of the birds we encountered. Nor there was any pressure to see the Lappish specialties, so no effort was made e.g. for owls. So consider this more as a list of the birds you could see if you keep your eyes open in mid-summer in Northern Finland and Varangerfjord, Norway. Some GPS positions are included.
Sun was above the horizon. The first sunset of the summer was as we left the area on about Jul 27.
We travelled around in our car and slept most of the nights "in the bush" in a tent. So we have included no information on accomodation or car rental.
We managed to see about 70 different species.

ROUGH ITENERARY:


21.7 Oulu-Utsjoki
22.7 Utsjoki (Ailigas, Pulmankijärvi)
23.7 Utsjoki-Nuvvus-Karigasniemi-Kaamanen-Utsjoki
24.7 Utsjoki - Større Ekkerøya
25.7 Større Ekkerøya - Hamningsberg
26.7 Hamningsberg and Vardø
27.7 Hamningsberg - Berlevåg Road - Utsjoki
28.7 Utsjoki-Oulu

WEATHER:

In Finland it was warm +20C to +25C. In Norway by the Arctic Ocean the daily temperatures were about +15C, night temps were 0C to +4C. We had only one rain shower during our trip. Most of the time there was some light cloudiness.

FIELD GUIDES:

Any field guide covering Europe should be sufficient. The only guide I had with me was Killian Mullarney, Lars Svensson, Dan Zetterström and Peter Grant, Lintuopas, Good artwork. Available in bird bookstores in various languages.

AUDIOGUIDES:

Stielle: was useful in locating a Arctic warbler and for the family for learning new birdcalls.

HUMAN GUIDES:

We birded on our own, but useful tips were obtained by membership in paging system of the Finnish Bongariliitto, as well as from Heikki and Olli Karhu (Inarin Lappi) and John Asmar Olsen (Varangerfjord) to all of whom I wish to express my thanks.

Send a report of your sightings to either Heikki and Olli Karhu (Finland) or John Asmar Olsen (Norway).

SOME USEFUL ADDRESSES:


John Asmar Olsen, Krampenes, 9800 Vadsø, NORWAY (Krampenes is about 19 km East of Vadsø). John has no internet connection.
Heikki and Olli Karhu: Hukkaperän 4, 99800 Ivalo, FINLAND. Web site: http://www.zoo-gate.fi/~karhut/

GENERAL INFORMATION


MOBILE TELEPHONE:

The country code for Finland is +358 and +47 for Norway. In Northernmost Finland two GSM operators have coverage. TELE's coverage appears better than that of Radiolinja. Radiolinja is OK south of Inari, near Kevo, and near the center of Utsjoki and Karigasniemi as well as on most mountain tops eg. towards Pulmankijärvi and on the county border between Inari and Utsjoki at Peitsikko.

In Norway several operators were also available. We used TeleN. The only places were we did not get coverage were the tunnel to Vardø and most of the road from Vardø to Hamningsberg. I managed to find one location in Hamningsberg with a connection to outside world. In these kind of weak GSM fields text messages turn out to be a very useful means of communication.


CURRENCY:

1EURO = 5.94 Finnish mark (fixed rate) and 1FIM = 1.38 NKR, which makes about 1EURO about 8.20 NKR We exchanged Finnish Marks to Norwegian Kronors at Nuorgam Postoffice, almost accorss the K-food store. Most of the Nuorgam stores accept also Norwegian currency.

DRIVING:

On the right side of the road. Some roads are narrow, so average speeds tend to be low. Can do short term (bird) parking almost anywhere.

PRICE LEVEL:

Fuel in Finland about 7-7.5 FIM (95E), 4.8-5.5 FIM (DIESEL) and in Norway about 11 NKR(95E), 10 NKR (DIESEL). Price is cheaper in Finland, particularly for diesel. Cheapest gas station in Nuorgam about 3 km before the Northernmost boarder crossing to Norway.
General price level quite high in Finland, but even higher in Norway. You may want to stock up in Utsjoki or Nuorgam before you go to Norway.

BOARDER FORMALITIES:

None if you are coming from EU. Minimal if you are coming from US. The border between Finland and Norway is practically a drive though frontier. If you need to declare something I suggest crossing at Utsjoki, because the customs building at Nuorgam is closed from 22.00 to 08.00.

PEOPLE:

Nice and friendly. No crime experienced or expected.

LANGUAGE:

Finnish in Finland (and locally in Norway), Norwegian in Norway. Swedish is also understood widely in Norway. One can also cope reasonably well with English. If you want to learn a very interesting little spoken language you could try taking a course in one of the local forms of Saami (or Sami) language spoken by the Lapps. Saami is also the official language in many of the Northern counties/communities.

MISCELLANEOUS:

A one hour difference between Finland (GMT+3h in summer) and Norway (GMT+2h in summer). When you go from Finland to Norway you should move you watch 1 hour backwards. Both countries switch simultaneously from summer to winter time and back.

INSECTS:

Yes, plenty of mosquitos close to small bushy streams further than about 10kms from the shore. In practice NO mosquitos along the coastal road from Varangerbotn to Hamningsberg.

BIRDING SITES:

MAPS:

In Finland two quite similar highway map series are available: The GT (1:200 000) and the WSOY map series (1:250 000). I recommend the GT series because the better scale and also because of a better grid. Prices of these maps are about 60 FIM.
In Norway I used my old Norway highway map number 21 (1:250 000) -- see my earlier trip report.

GPS:

In Finland I recommend you to set you GPS to the Finnish system, which in GARMIN GPSs is (Finnish Hayford, User Grid: Longitude Origin = E 27d00.000, Scale = 1.000000, False Easting = 3 500 000 m, False Northing = 0m ). To get the height from sealevel in the Finnish N60 system subtract about 20 meters from the altitude shown by the GPS. This is approximately the difference between the WGS84 GEOID and the Finnish N60 altitude system. This system is presently used in all Finnish land maps (e.g. topographic maps).

In Norway I used the dd mm.mmmm format and the WGS 84 datum, which is presently used in Norway.

SITES VISITED in FINLAND:

INARI:

Kiilopää: We visited this place because of a local pair of Grey Wagtails. The slopes and the top of the mountain Kiilopää are supposed to be good for Ptarmigan and Dotterel.

Kuuturantie: Close to Kiilopää within a couple of kms you should be able to find Siberian tits, Waxwings and possibly even Siberian Jays and Capercaillies.

Peitsikko: A nice spot right on the border between Inari and Utsjoki, could be a good spot for Long-tailed skua -- this year a very poor year.

UTSJOKI:

Ailigas: A classical Finnish site for Ptarmigan and Dotterel. Now the road is sign posted as private. Please respect the sign and walk the up along the road or along the birchwoods. You may bump into a Willow Grouse.

Karigasniemi Road: Beautiful road along the Teno river from Karigasniemi to Utsjoki. Sometimes good for raptors. The river is worth checking from several spots.

Pulmankijärvi: A large quiet calm lake. A real "trap". Has had eg. a Fulmar. Worth checking at least for your Finnish list! We had white reindeers here.

SITES VISITED in NORWAY:

ROAD VARANGERBOTN TO HAMINGSBERG

SEE ALSO MORTEN GUENTHER'S WEB PAGE!

Nesseby chappel: Easy to get to. You see it well before you get there. You have almost passed Nesseby village before you turn.

Mortensnes: Marked as a special site of interest. Lots of fishermen. A reasonable site for looking over the fjord. A small kittiwake colony.

Bergebyelva west of Mortensnes and Jakobselva well East of Mortensnes are good for roosting gulls, ducks and possibly waders (shorebirds).

Vadsø; bridge: As you get to town, head right (South). You will end up on the bridge. The whole area that is visible from the bridge is good for gulls waterfowl and waders (shorebirds).

Større Ekkerøya: Seabird colony, mainly Kittiwakes, but has also some guillemots, razorbills and black guillemots. With a luck you could see a fulmar from here. This is the most accessible of the three bird islands.

Vardø: Vardø is the last place to stockup on fuel and food on your way to Hamningsberg. Quite good for ducks and gulls. You can just barely identify puffins at Hornøya from the NE most pensinula at Vardø.

Hornøya: Proper access to Hornøya bird island is by boat with travel time negotiable at Havnkontor. The best time to start is 09.00 AM. Price for the boat ride depends on the time of the day: 180 Nkr on working days between about 09.20 and up to 15.00. At other times the Jul 2000 prices are 210 NKr between 15.00-19.30, and 330NKr at other times (night, early morning and weekend). Cheaper rates are available for larger groups. We stayed 4 hours at Hornøya. This was sufficient for me, and not too long for the family.
Upon arrival to Hornøya take an immediate right to the start of the trail. This trail, which is locally narrow, rocky and steep will give you splendid views of the birds. You must stay on the trail.

Road to Hamingsberg: Fabulous "Moonlanscape". The road is narrow, but there is plenty of locations where you can pull over. Do so when ever you can but consider also other drivers. This is supposed to be the best area for birding in the Varanger peninsula. We did not have enough time.

Hamningsberg: Grassy meadow and a small village plus a rocky peninsula. Upon arrival to Haminingsberg you will arrive to the main intersection of the village. Here you can drive right to the end of the road and walk to rocks by the dock for sea watching. This seems to be ideal in the evening and in the morning. Another apparently good morning site is if you turn left at the main intersection, drive to the end of the road and then walk a couple of hundred meters to the right to the small rocks by the seashore. The only reason for driving straight at the main intersection is to get to the seemingly only location within 30km, where mobile phone net is accesible.
Hamningsberg is the third "bird island", well you can see Syltefjordstauran from here, but you cannot get to the cliffs. Anyway the bird come to you here.

ROAD TO THE HIGHER AREAS OF VARANGERHALVÖYA

Towards Berlevåg: From Varangerbotn drive towards Tanabru, don't cross the Tana river, but keep on continuing for some 50 kms. You will get above the tree line at about 250m altitude. From there on you have splendid open upland tundra.
