Beschreibung
Perched off mainland Norway’s easternmost point, Hornøya is a wild island inhabited by 80 000 seabirds, hunted by eagles and protected as a nature reserve since 1983. Over 100 species of bird have been recorded on the island, a list which includes Seeadler, breeding Rotkehlpieper, 15000 pairs of Trottellumme. Over 7500 pairs of Papageitaucher breed inside burrows on Hornøya’s grassy slopes and clifftops. You can walk very close to the thousands of breeding seabirds like Tordalk, Papageitaucher, Dickschnabellumme, Krähenscharbe, Dreizehenmöwe. It's a rocky island, but easy to visit.
