Jomfruland - birds and scenic nature
Jomfruland Bird Observatory is situated at the north tip of the island of Jomfruland. Making up the outer coast line in this section of the gulf of Skagerak, the island consists largely of boulderes only. Migrating birds follow the coast line, and pass the northern tip both in spring and autumn. Add some scenic and varied nature, and this makes up an extraordinary experience for the nature lover!
Want to stay at the bird observatory?
The bird observatory offers six beds, which must be booked in advance. Members of the local birding society (NOF-Telemark) have priority, but the station is open for all birders who are willing to participate in the daily routines. Experienced ringers are welcome for longer stays (generally more than one week). The station offers all facilities except shower, which is available nearby. At the station you stay along with other birders, and there are allways good opportunities for guiding on the local birding conditions!
During daytime you may find it difficult reaching us on the phone. In case of no contact please mail us at post@jomfruland.no or make a call to the observatory leader Hans Inge Nicolaysen, phone + 47 454 91 435.
